I made steak for myself the first time yesterday using that recipe. All I used was salt and pepper. Wondering what you guys would use for this recipe.

get a "montreal steak seasoning" from the spice aisle at your grocery store.

simple and seasons the steak very well. i've used it with that pan-seared method with excellent results.

Can you use a liquidy sauce for panseared? Sorry I'm a cooking noob.

Do u marinate or just rub? ANd it works just fine w/ pan seared?

a little salt, a little pepper thats it. you want to enhance the flavor of the meat not mask it with other crap.

For a pan seared ribeye like that, I "strongly" reccomend trying it with some nice bacon wrapped around the edge, although it's easier with a thick filet that isn't too wide.
It needs to be a good quality smoked bacon imo.

I first use a steak hammer to soften end then marinate. It is some what salty so its up to you how long. you can marinate it as little as like 30-45 min.
Afterwards i like to baste in on while it grills.
If you are in a rush you can just bast it on though if you do there needs to be a little more garlic, more past like so it stick on.

EDIT: im sure it would work with pan, but i would make a past of the rest of the marinade, then baste it on while cooking. Remember that a steak needs only be turned twice. Three times at the MOST.

Only when you're cooking terrible, cheap steak do you want to use sauces of any kind. A nice steak should have some salt and pepper, and MAYBE one or two other seasonings such as garlic. IMO, that is.

So how about i replace kosher salt with garlic salt. Two bird w/ 1 stone?

 

[Last Rezort]

Im not so sure ive not substituted, prefer not to. I wont say yes or no because i havent tryed it. Im sure it would be a little less salty but you might loose some of the steaks flavor. Whats great about this marinade is that you can still tast the steak, the stuff only adds a little bit.
Pm me and ill make up a batch tomarrow and give exact quantities.

No salt needed in this mix, just said ingrd.

Instead of regular kosher salt try seasoned salt, olive oil, lemon, pepper.
