How to Cook the Most Mouthwatering Steak - Guaranteed

If you’re about to throw a Hi Brau steak on the grill, congrats—you’re already halfway to greatness. But even the best beef deserves the right treatment. Follow these simple steps to get a perfect steak every time.

Step 1: Start with the Right Steak

Step 2: Let It Breathe

About an hour before cooking, take your steak out of the fridge and let it come to room temp. As it warms, pat it dry with a paper towel—this helps create that perfect crust (a.k.a. the stuff steak dreams are made of).

Step 3: Keep It Simple, Season Like a Pro

You don’t need to overcomplicate things—Hi Brau beef speaks for itself. Hit both sides with a generous amount of kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Anything more is just showing off.

Step 4: Crank Up the Heat

Grill masters: Preheat to high heat.

Stovetop warriors: Get your pan scorching hot—at least 500°F.

The key is a blazing-hot surface to get that perfect sear. Trust us, it’s almost impossible to get it too hot.

Step 5: Sear to Impress

Drop that steak onto the grill grates (or into an oiled pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until a deep, golden crust forms. Want pro-level grill marks? Give it a slight turn after 2 minutes and bask in your own glory.

Step 6: Flip & Finish

Use tongs (not a fork—this isn’t amateur hour) to flip your steak. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. For medium-rare perfection, aim for an internal temp of 130-135°F.

Step 7: The Hardest Part—Resting

Pull your steak off the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This lets the juices redistribute and keeps every bite extra juicy. It’s worth the wait—resist the urge to cut in early.

Step 8: Slice & Serve

Grab a sharp knife and slice against the grain into thin, juicy strips. Serve immediately with your favorite sides—roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or just a fork (we won’t judge).

Now, go forth and grill! Whether you’re cooking up a grass-fed, grain-finished, or Wagyu masterpiece, Hi Brau Beef has you covered. Ready to stock up on premium steaks?
