I attempted Courteney Cox's recipe for the right steak and I can't wait to make it once more

• I attempted actor Courteney Cox’s recipe for the right steak that she shared on Instagram. 
• She makes use of only a few substances, together with coarse salt, finely floor espresso, and truffle oil.
• The steak got here out juicy and flavorful with a novel style because of the mix of substances.

A couple of months in the past I got here throughout a video of actor Courteney Cox sharing her favourite recipe for steak on Instagram. 

The “Pals” actor mentioned she received the recipe from musician Brandi Carlile — and it appeared fairly simple to observe. She used only a few substances, together with freshly floor espresso and truffle oil. She additionally did not use exact measurements, which is usually how I wish to cook dinner.

I used to be particularly curious to attempt the recipe since many steak purists say one of the best ways to season a steak is simply salt and pepper.

This is the way it went.

First, I drizzled my rib-eye steak with truffle oil after which I layered on the seasonings

Cox suggests utilizing New York or rib-eye steaks, so I went with a 1-inch thick rib eye.

I drizzled a beneficiant quantity of truffle oil (which she notes within the Instagram caption may also be olive oil) on one aspect and proceeded to coat the steak with finely floor espresso, brown sugar, coarse salt, and pepper.

I then did the identical to the opposite aspect.

As soon as each side have been totally coated with the substances, I used a spoon to press the seasonings into the meat.

This is not actually a recipe you may mess up — you may sort of coat the steak as a lot as you need with these substances.

I haven’t got a grill, so I used a grill pan and oven to cook dinner the steak

Within the video, Cox mentioned to grill the thick steaks for about two or three minutes on either side. Since I did not have a giant grill, I used an oven-safe grill pan on excessive warmth. 

I used drops of water to check if my pan was scorching sufficient. As soon as the water sizzled because it touched the pan I knew I used to be prepared so as to add my steak. 

I seared the steak on either side for about two minutes. I then positioned the oven-safe grill pan right into a preheated oven at 425 levels Fahrenheit to complete the steak. I stored it within the oven for 5 minutes.

The steak got here out completely and the seasoning was scrumptious.

The sear allowed for the coating to actually follow the steak, giving it a pleasant, caramelized crust. It additionally sealed the juices into the steak earlier than I completed it off within the oven. 

I believed that the espresso taste would overpower the whole lot, but it surely actually simply tempered the sweetness of the brown sugar and amplified the flavour of the steak total.

I’m an enormous fan of truffles, so I loved the flavour of the truffle oil. That mentioned, given how robust the flavors of the sugar and occasional have been, I feel this recipe would’ve been equally nearly as good with olive oil. 

The salt appeared to actually steadiness out the candy, barely bitter style of the sugar and occasional.

I additionally had my boyfriend, who does not drink espresso, style the steak. Even he appreciated the flavour it added together with the sugar, oil, and salt.

I’d positively make this steak once more the identical approach.
