All it takes to create a restaurant-quality steak at homeis simple seasoning and a bit of technique. The secret to a perfect steak isallowing it to come to room temperature before searing in a smoking-hot pan. Apeppery all-purpose rub enhances the richness of the beef, while blisteredcherry tomatoes add a burst of umami and subtle sweetness for balance.
For flavor, we use our peppery Old School All-Purpose Rub to complement the richness of the beef; all of our premium seasoning blends are available for purchase on Amazon. Topping the steak with blistered cherry tomatoes adds a burst of umami and a subtle sweetness that balances every bite.
Part 1:
Steak
Step 1
Remove steak from refrigeration and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
Season both sides evenly with Old School A.P. rub. Drizzle 1 Tbsp oil over the steak and rub to coat.
Step 3
Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat. Add 2 Tbsp oil and heat until smoking.
Step 4
Place steak in the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes until well browned. Flip and cook for 2–4 minutes, depending on desired doneness (125°F / 52°C for medium-rare, 135–140°F / 57–60°C for medium, 155°F / 68°C for well done).
Step 5
Add butter, garlic, and rosemary during the final minute of cooking. Baste continuously with melted butter.
Step 6
Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest for 10 minutes.
Part 2:
Blistered Cherry Tomatoes
Step 1
Reduce heat to medium and add tomatoes to the same pan.
Step 2
Cook for 4–5 minutes until blistered and softened.
Step 3
Add vinegar and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt.
Part 3:
Finish
Step 1
Slice steak against the grain.
Step 2
Serve topped with blistered tomatoes and pan juices.
Notes
- If Old School A.P. rub is unavailable, substitute with coarse salt, black pepper, and a small amount of granulated garlic to taste.
- Letting the steak rest allows juices to redistribute for better texture.
- Use a heavy pan for best heat retention and searing.
Tips
- Pat steak dry before seasoning to improve browning.
- Avoid moving the steak too early to develop a proper crust.
- Spoon hot butter over the steak continuously during the final minute for added flavor.
