The Hungry Swimmer: Cast Iron Steak | SwimSwam

By Ari Meyer on SwimSwam

My all-time favorite dinner would have to be a medium-rare steak with a side of veggies. Mastering the perfect steak takes practice, but this recipe is sure to wow guests every time without fail!

Steak is an excellent source of high-quality protein, making it a great dinner or lunch option paired with a side of veggies and whole grains. Beef contains natural creatine that helps supply energy to the muscles, along with naturally occurring B vitamins, Iron, and Zinc, that help the immune system and contribute to a healthy recovery post-training.

 

Ingredients

  • Ribeye steak
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • 2 tbs cooking oil of choice (olive, avocado, etc…)

Let’s Cook!

  • Remove steak from the fridge and let it stand at room temp for 30 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Season all sides of the steak with seasonings
  • Heat up cast iron skillet on medium/high heat for around 5 minutes
  • Oil the pan with a good quality oil (olive oil is my choice of oil)
  • Once the pan is hot enough it will start smoking (open your windows!)
  • Sear the seasoned ribeye on each side for 2 minutes
  • Transfer your steak from the stovetop to the oven and bake for 4 minutes for a medium steak (cook for 1-2 minutes longer for a more well-done steak)
  • Pull the steak from the oven and let it rest off the heat for 5 minutes
  • Cut and enjoy!
