Chef's Tip
1. Salt and pepper your steaks and leave uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.
2. Remove from refrigerator and leave at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking to "temper" the meat.
3. This will ensure a nice crust, seasoning all the way through the meat and an even cooking temperature.
