Here’s advice on how to get the perfect steak, and two recipes to try at home:
The raw steak must be at room temperature before cooking. Make sure that the grill is very hot, and the griddle is clean. If grilling meat with fat, put the fat down first to grill until golden brown, and followed by the sliced steak and the bone, then pour the melted butter over the steak.
Top with the remainder of the coarse salt.
Place steak under the salamander or griller in order for the butter and salt to melt further into the meat.
The salamander will also cook the steak slightly, hence we cook it just under on the grill. Serve on a large wooden board. Once on the board, pour the remaining butter from the plate over the steak. then cook the steak
Cook on one side first, then turn it over. A few minutes on each side is good for rare (depending on how thick the steak is).
Once the steak is ready, let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
