Nakedly Steak
- 1 grilling steak, such as striploin or rib
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon grape seed oil or butter
- Four days before you want to have steak, go and buy it, take it home, and sprinkle salt generously on both sides. No need to rub it in.
- Put the steak on a rack placed over a plate, and leave it in the fridge for 4 nights, uncovered.
- After the four days/nights, or when you want to eat your steak, take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to the highest setting, or preheat your cast iron pan until it's very hot.
- Grease the grill or pan with the oil or butter and grill the steak, for 2-3 minutes on each side, until well crusted. This should get you to a rare if you have an inch-thick steak. Turn off the grill and leave your steak in there, with the lid down if you like it a bit more done.
- Serve with roasted vegetables, and as always with steak, a liberal application of salt and pepper. In the picture I also added a garlic pea puree, but that's optional. The steak itself is plenty enough flavour.
