Striker Chef's T-bone Steak

A chef's technique for T-bone steak that solves the uneven cooking caused by the bone at home, achieving perfect doneness for both tenderloin and strip loin.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who have failed with T-bone steak at home because the strip loin and tenderloin cooked unevenly
  • Those who want to learn the chef's method of searing steak with a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful interior

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 piece T-bone beef (800g or more, about 3cm thick)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Miwon (MSG), about half the amount of salt
  • Herb oil, generously
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Thyme, to taste
  • Rosemary, to taste

Recipe 🍳

  1. Wipe off any blood on the surface of the T-bone beef cleanly with a paper towel.
  2. Sprinkle salt over the entire meat, and add Miwon (MSG) at about half the amount of salt for umami, seasoning it.
  3. Make cuts along the T-shaped bone to carefully separate the strip loin and tenderloin meat from the bone.
  4. Pour herb oil or cooking oil into a pan, about twice as much as usual for steak cooking, and heat over high heat.
  5. Add the separated bone and meat together to the hot pan and start cooking. Add the thinner tenderloin about 1 minute later than the strip loin.
  6. Flip the meat roughly every 30 seconds, searing for a total of 5 minutes to achieve a crispy and even Maillard reaction on the surface.
  7. During cooking, tilt the pan and continuously baste the meat with the oil using a spoon to transfer heat to the inside.
  8. In the last 30 seconds, add butter, crushed garlic, thyme, and rosemary, coating the meat surface evenly with the melted butter aroma.
  9. Remove the cooked meat and let it rest for about 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces and plate with the roasted bone.
  1. Remove blood from the beef and season with salt and Miwon (MSG).
  2. Cut along the T-bone to separate the tenderloin and strip loin meat from the bone.
  3. Heat a pan with plenty of oil, add the separated bone and meat, and sear.
  4. Flip the meat every 30 seconds over high heat to crisp the surface.
  5. Before finishing, add butter, garlic, and herbs for rich aroma.
  6. Remove the meat, rest for 5 minutes, then slice and plate with the bone.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If you sear the T-bone whole, the bone prevents the meat from fully contacting the pan bottom, causing uneven cooking. By deboning the meat, both tenderloin and strip loin can cook evenly.
  • Since tenderloin cooks faster than strip loin, delaying its addition to the pan slightly prevents overcooking.
