T-bone steak: What is it? And how do you cook it?

Frying it in a pan

We will first fry the t-bone steak in a pan. Then we’ll let it slowly cook in the oven.

1. Remove the T-bone steak from the refrigerator at least an hour before cooking.
2. Season both sides with (sea) salt and heat some oil in a frying pan.
3. Sear both sides of the meat for a minute. Also hold the meat on the fat for a while, for example with tongs. Don’t remove the fat from the meat, because this gives it flavor.
4. Lower the heat and turn the meat every two minutes for a rare and 3 minutes for a medium T-bone steak.
5. Remove the meat from the pan. Wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This distributes the juices well through the meat, which benefits the taste.

On the grill

1. Remove the T-bone steak from the refrigerator at least an hour before grilling.
2. Just before grilling, brush the meat with a little oil.
3. Grill both sides of the steak for 2 minutes. Turn the meat a quarter turn after one minute to get a nice diamond pattern.
4. Move the meat to a less hot zone and let the meat continue to cook to the desired temperature.
5. After reaching the desired temperature, wrap the meat in aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 – 10 minutes. This distributes the juices well through the meat, which benefits the taste.
