Hi, Natalie. It takes several hours to firm but you can use it soft, right away as well. I almost always keep some ready to go in the fridge, because it is great on everything! Fish, chicken, steak, and veggies. It is my go to finishing sauce. Enjoy your steak!

You are correct Chiara. These temps are Fahrenheit. Enjoy your steak!

Thanks, Scott. This is great way of getting restaurant results at home. Glad you came by.

I have used stainless steel and it was fine. A cast iron skillet can hold heat better and get really hot for a good sear. But your stainless steel will still do a great job. Just remember to get it screamin’ hot! Enjoy your steak!

Hi Melissa. You want the pan screamin’ hot! High heat. You are going to quickly sear both sides and it creates a salt crust that is amazingly delicious. Your hubby is going to love you more than ever if you make this for him. Can’t wait to hear from you after you make it. Best, Sherri

I hope you will come back and tell me how much you like it! I am confident you are going to make this more than once.

Thank you for your kind reply! I’m going to try it tonight. 🙂 Please excuse my earlier typos, I had a toddler crawling on me at the time! Lol

I think it would still be delicious. The salt and pepper creates a salt crust, and I think Montreal Seasoning would perform similarly. Having used both, we prefer the salt and pepper.

I am so glad it turned out well or, er medium rare! Great idea with the flavored butter. I like the taste of fresh herbs, but that sounds like it would be great in a pinch! It means so much that you came by to tell us you liked it. Readers like you make bloggers like me glad we blog!

I am so excited it worked for you! If it gets teenage boys singing praises (he may say they were for the steak, they were for you), then it really is a win.

You just made my day. Sounds like your hubby loved it as much as mine. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know how it went. But apparently you are also sharing your winter storm with me, and that I am not so excited about. Maybe I will console myself with some more of this steak!

The steaks were AMAZING! He said they were better than any steakhouse 🙂

Happy anniversary! Wow, what perfect timing. I hope this dinner will brighten things up during yet another winter storm!

You got it exactly right! It is going to taste amazing. I would say it is our new special occasion dinner, but we have been making it for no occasion at all because we like it so much:) Have a happy Valentine’s Day!

Enjoy, Cara! The compound butter is great because you can adjust what herbs you use to suit your tastes.

Thanks Tom. I added that info after Jocelyn let me know it was missing. Enjoy your steak!

Step 6 🙂

That crust is amazing. Can’t do that on the grill. Glad to hear you agree!
