Description

Big, fat, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth, pepper encrusted steak.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Ribeye Steaks
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Ground Black Peppercorns
  • 1 Tablespoon Caraway Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
  • 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • Kosher Salt To Taste

Preparation

Allow your steaks to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Pat steaks dry with a paper towel and season all sides with salt; set aside.

In a spice/coffee grinder, place your peppercorns, caraway and sesame seeds; pulse together until they are at desired consistency. Press pepper mixture liberally onto steaks on all sides. Place a cast iron skillet with the canola oil over high heat until pan is smoking hot. When pan is ready, place your steaks into the skillet for approximately 4 minutes on each side for medium. Transfer skillet to oven and cook for approximately another 6 minutes. Remove steaks from pan. Cover them loosely with tin foil and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice on a bias and serve.

I only had a couple of thin strip streaks on hand when I made this, but the crust was very tasty. Husband like it!

The flavor was decent, but the cooking time is much much to long. especially if your pan is screaming hot like you say it needs to be. 2 minutes on each side is plenty for a medium steak, especially since it is followed by some more time in the oven. i would definitely halve the cooking times on this next time.

This looks great – I love that you use caraway seeds in the mix- never would have thought to use them this way. Hubby will be happy!

Hubby says “He will never cook another steak (on the grill) again”. I did mine with Montreal Steak, but thank you so much for the instructions!! I was really scared to set the kitchen ablaze, but everything went well & NO fires!

I followed the medium instructions for Hubbys and did 4 minutes (2 each side) in the pan then 4 in the oven for a VERY rare steak for me, delicious!!
