Been cooking steaks in cast iron pans for many years and thought i had nothing to learn, and here I just picked up a great tip that for some reason always escaped me: remove the steak from the pan and turn down the heat very low before adding the butter and aromatics! You'd think that was obvious, but no....I've always fought to baste my steak fast enough to keeep my butter and garlic from burning. Now I see this super easy step of taking the steak out to rest a bit while reducing the heat in the pan. FANTASTIC!!

I really hope you picked up a tip or two in this video my friends and I sincerely hope that the next steak you cook is your best yet! HAPPY COOKING!

This is exactly the way I make my steaks minus the shallot. I’m definitely trying the shallot now. My wife tells me it’s the better than any steakhouse we’ve been to. Ribeye and rib caps are the best. Thanks Sonny!

This is how I cook my steaks. I’ve been doing this for many many years. This man has got it to perfection. This is absolutely perfect.

I love your “in and out the pan” technique, Sonny. Those in between rests really allows the surface of the steak to cool off while the rest of the heat penetrates in. That’s most likely why you have that beautiful pink color throughout the steak with no gray bands. This is almost similar to the “constant flipping” technique shown in America’s Test Kitchen.

You truly are one of the best this platform has, Sonny! Keep these amazing recipes coming!

I’ve made this steak and it was phenomenal❣️I made the rosemary salt using the rosemary in my garden and Redmond real salt. Same with the thyme~went out and picked it out of the garden. Planting my garlic and shallots this fall ♥️between that and finding a cattle rancher to get grass fed finished beef YES it’s better than anything you can get in a restaurant. Thank you so-much! I watched many videos including Gordon’s but chose yours. Used Kerigold butter but will make my own next for the full experience ♥️

Been making my filets the way you do in other videos and best steak I’ve ever had. Been smoking stuff a lot and grilling lately, but when I hit the cast iron, I use your technique my friend.

I almost never eat out, and never order a steak if I do because I can cook it better than most places. I love ribeye, but recently bought chuck eye steak from Porter Road, one of the best steaks I have ever had. Great video as always!!

Ever since I've seen your other, older video about basting a steak cooked on a stainless pan, I've never cooked steak better than I do now. This technique has impressed my entire family anytime I cook dinner for them. Thank you so much, dude!

[trishdadish]

Oh, oh my, oh my goodness! I just did exactly what you said and showed, to a rib-eye steak and I have never tasted a steak better than this in my life. This was my absolute first attempt at ever cooking a steak. I can’t believe this! 🤯 That was so easy! Thank you so much!!! I’m doing this at least once a week.

Dude, I followed your 10, 000th Filet video to the letter several months ago, which is basically the same as this video and it blew my freaking mind how damn good it was. I can only imagine how much more elevated the flavor is with a Prime Ribeye. Can't wait to try. Love your channel !

Omg I love you! Just finished my steak, was following your recipe (and it was actually my first attempt at cooking steak, the meat was just some regular nice beef, not black angus or something). It was mind blowing, and my wife said it was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten. You are a rockstar, thank you!

[robcz]

tried it yesterday and it worked like a charm.I only basted once, but... never have I ever had a better sear on a steak and all juices stayed in the meat. just perfection.

[TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

I just knew that fridge was going to *get* it after seeing how delicious the steak came out! Lol! This looks amazing Sonny, thank you!! 💖🥰

[candissdelcastillo]

I have been a new carnivore for six weeks now and have been trying unsuccessfully to fry steaks in a butter sauté without over cooking them. So far unsuccessful until this video. It was extremely helpful and I understand what mistakes I have been making and how to correct them. Thank you!👍

After watching the video with Guga I tried the on off on method with butter and it definitely works. However, I have nonstick pans (no oil needed) and am normally cooking two steaks so I just grab some tongs and do a flip & drag method through the butter while leaving the pan flat. I have been too lazy to try the shallots, garlic, and thyme since I have spice bottles :). If I am feeling like it I will make a mushroom cream sauce w/ worcestershire, dijon, garlic, etc., and it is one of my favorites.

[animalsexplaind]

I have tried it today and it was the first time I’ve made a steak in the pan myself and I must admit it tasted amazing with perfect crust and juiciness. I loved it!

[bigmaclooiee]

This has to be one of the greatest cooking videos I've ever watched. Perfection, Chef.

[Oburoni]

Those of us who have been watching the channel for about a year or more now, between the shorts, collabs, and standalone videos, we KNOW Sonny can cook the fuck out of a steak. But.. we still watched the whole thing here AGAIN because there is something about watching a MASTER work his craft. I made my first Sonny Steak this past winter after summoning the courage and i literally cried at how it was the best steak I've ever made. Thank you Sonny, again, for everything!!

Another slam dunk video...job well done! Thanks for all the great information you share with us...much appreciated 🙏👍
