Does marinating the steak improve its flavor?
—No, marinating the steak has minimal impact on its flavor as the marinade doesn't penetrate deep enough.
How long should I rest the steak after cooking?
—Rest the steak for approximately 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and create a more tender and juicy steak.
Can I use regular butter instead of avocado oil?
—Using avocado oil is recommended for its high smoke point, which helps create a better crust. Regular butter may burn at high temperatures.
What type of salt should I use for salting the steak?
—Use kosher salt or fleur de sel, which have a coarse texture and adhere well to the steak, enhancing its flavor and creating a better crust.
Do I need to flip the steak multiple times while cooking?
—For a thick steak, it is recommended to flip it only once to allow for better caramelization and crust formation. Continuous flipping may prevent the development of a crust.
