    Before anyone tries this recipe you should have a vent for your stove, it makes a lot of smoke! I made a new york strip in this manner last night and my girlfriend said it was the best steak she had ever had, and I agreed. I reduced the time in the oven by fifteen seconds on each side because I like my steak really bloody. It filled my whole house with smoke so be prepared for this. I don’t have a vent but its so worth it! We just opened all the windows and retreated to the living room to eat!

    I love Alton Brown! And I love how he says, at the end, he doesn’t eat steak everyday but three times a week is not bad and now he realizes and has a rule: Red meat once a week only!

    you have to remember that there will be smoke, you should have a ventilation system. a lower temp will do it, but it will take longer and you would have a steak more medium than medium rare. you could also use an oil with a higher smoke point if the smoke bother you that much

    he said pricey not expensive. if you compare the same brand name table salt to sea salt its 3x more expensive.

    Bought a box of Kosher salt on a whim once and never looked back. I take a similar approach in preparing a steak, although I’ve yet to try the oven. Instead of sprinkling the salt directly on the meat, I just coat the surface of the searing hot cast iron with it. Two minutes in the pan, reduce heat , flip, and four min. on medium heat to finish. Then a dollop of butter melted on top, a squeeze of lemon, and of course fresh ground pepper. Good show!

    500 degrees works. I make steak like this regularly since I first learned about it. It does not smoke up anything if you use the right oil.
