A celebrity chef is the culmination of many different things: a culinary talent with a sizeable ego whose charisma is fully put on display by a television crew with a high production budget. Few people can fulfill these rare circumstances, but we can still create delicious food. That’s because great cooking isn’t limited to celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay; instead, it’s something we can all enjoy.
Although we may not have a camera crew in our kitchen or luxury ingredients at our disposal, home chefs have everything they need to make great food.
If you’re looking to cook a steak like Gordon Ramsay, this straightforward guide will explain all the necessary steps you need to do this. Follow along, and see how the stars make their steaks!
Step 1: Defrosting/Warming Up
Before turning on your stove, you need to prepare your main ingredients. Make sure your steaks are completely thawed all the way through. If your steaks are frozen, this means this process needs to begin hours beforehand.
Additionally, it’s important to bring your steaks to room temperature before cooking. To do this, remove them from the fridge and allow them to sit outside the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
Step 2: Preparing
Put a pan over high heat. Generously season the thawed steaks with a good amount of large grain salt (sea salt) and ground pepper or your favorite rub.
To achieve the best results, it’s important to cook according to temperature instead of time or appearance. To achieve this, use an accurate and fast thermometer like the ThermoPro TempSpike Truly Wire-Free Meat Thermometer. Insert the TempSpike probe into the steak and monitor its progression by using your phone.
Step 3: Cooking
Once the pan begins to smoke, drop in 1-2 tbsp of avocado oil to coat the pan. Carefully lay the steaks away from you into the pan so that there is no splash back from the oil.
Using a spatula or a pair of tongs, flip the steak every 30 seconds, making sure to cook the fat on its sides.
Step 4: Flavoring
Add butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the steak in the pan. Start basting while turning the steak over. Using the TempSpike to check the temperature, cook the steak until it reaches either 125°F (52°C) or the temperature that best matches your preferred level of doneness. Brush the steaks with garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
Step 5: Serving
Remove from heat and place them on a cutting board, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy the ultimate steak as prepared like Gordon Ramsay!
