In this post, I'll portion 2 carve upwards occasions that nosotros enjoyed the steaks - in i lawsuit every bit a exam run, as well as then in i lawsuit for Mike's special birthday dinner.  On both occasions, I seared them merely similar this :

The Best Seared Steaks

My favorite agency to fix steaks at abode is to pan sear them, as well as then complete them inwards the oven - peculiarly thick cuts similar these Filets.

The Kansas City Steak Company Steaks
-2 tablespoons of butter
-steak seasoning* or ocean common salt & pepper

*The Kansas City Steak Company includes a seasoning amongst each box of steaks, used here.  It was delicious.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

I similar to purpose a kind Fe skillet for steaks because it gets really hot.  Preheat the skillet over medium-high estrus for 1 minute.  Season the steaks liberally amongst common salt & pepper, or seasoning packet.  Add butter to the skillet, as well as then add together the steaks.

Cook for iii minutes on high estrus on each side.  Put the skillet inwards the oven for 5-8 minutes until thermometer reaches 125 degrees.  Remove from oven as well as permit residual for 10 minutes.


Before the flip.  Be certain to last generous amongst the seasoning - peculiarly amongst really thick steaks similar these.


After the flip, I seat them inwards the oven.


Along amongst the steaks, I made the Barefoot Contessa's Crispy Shells & Cauliflower from her newest cookbook.  So good!  It tin last made ahead of fourth dimension as well as would last peachy for entertaining.


Steaks for Entertaining

We serve seared steaks for entertaining all of the time.  In fact, it was my staple when I had a pocket-size catering business.  Everyone was e'er impressed that I could fix such delicious steaks without a grill.

I actually don't similar to produce much on the stovetop when I receive got guests - likewise risky.  So, I sear the steaks before inwards the 24-hour interval or fifty-fifty the 24-hour interval before.  Then, I seat them on a canvass pan as well as proceed them inwards the fridge.  I seat them inwards the oven for nearly 10-12 minutes until they've reached 130 degrees (medium rare/medium seems to adjust most crowds), as well as then withdraw them as well as permit them rest.  It industrial plant perfectly because I unremarkably seat the steaks inwards merely before nosotros sit down down, as well as then receive got them out past times the time I've poured the vino as well as served the salad.  Usually the salad takes nearly 10 minutes, hence the residual fourth dimension is merely perfect.


Mike as well as I were both hence impressed amongst the flavor as well as character of these steaks - so, soooo good.


For this dinner, I made a elementary greens salad, the Crispy Shells & Cauliflower to larn amongst the steaks.  You tin run into a sneak peak at Mike's birthday dinner (also merely about other laid of filets on the menu) at the destination of the post.


Of course, you lot know who merely out of persuasion of most of the photos but snuck inwards this one!




Down to the concluding bite.  We enjoyed these hence much!


Now for Mike's Birthday dinner : nosotros did a tabular array setting that I felt was "handsome" as well as special.  I'll walk through the details how how I made the centerpiece as well as setting tomorrow.



My electrical flow favorite combo - Slate Wreath Block Print amongst my Spode Woodland Plates as well as fresh greens.



I beloved how the tabular array turned out.  Everything e'er looks peachy amongst lots of candles ; )


Two to a greater extent than steaks for dinner... nosotros are getting hence spoiled.
