11. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Tips and Tricks

Steaks are such delicate things. If you get the cooking time, temperature and flavors right, you can get the best tasting, flavorful steak out there. However, mess up one and you can end up with a chewy, or tough, dry meal. Before you try out any of our truffle oil recipes steak tips are in order. Follow these and you’ll get the best results for less effort and money.

  • Sirloin, ribeye and steak fillets are expensive. If they’re out of your budget, don’t worry! Just replace the steak used in the recipes to either flank skirt or flat iron steak. They cheaper, yet their mixture of fat and lean meat is just the right amount to bring the best flavor and fullness.
  • Always grill or cook your steaks at room temperature if . If you store your steaks in the freezer beforehand, allow them to thaw before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
  • Always season your steaks well with oil or butter, salt and pepper. Don’t just sprinkle the seasoning on top of the steak, make sure to rub the seasonings into the steak for better flavor retention.
  • Always add the steak to an already hot grill. This caramelises the steak quite well and leaves those nice, standard grill marks.
  • Flip the steak frequently when grilling. You can flip every 30 to 60 seconds per side, and just keep repeating this until your steak is cooked to your specifications.
  • For more flavor, you can rub garlic or butter on the steak while you’re cooking it. If the recipe calls for a marinade beforehand, brush the marinade repeatedly on the steak while cooking.
  • Always set aside the steak after grilling, preferably surrounded by its own juices, in order to absorb more flavor. For better results, cover the steak with aluminum foil.
  • Truffle oil is the magic ingredient here. Steak with truffle oil is worlds away from regular steak. Never use truffle oil in lieu of olive oil, as it loses its flavor when cooked. Always use truffle oil as a garnish before serving the steak dinner. A drizzle of truffle oil may seem like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference.
