Ingredients for Steak Tenderization:

To embark on this culinary journey, gather the following ingredients:

  • Steak: Choose your favorite cut, such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak.
  • Salt: Coarse kosher salt works best for tenderizing.
  • Black Pepper: Freshly ground for added flavor.
  • Garlic Powder: Enhances the savory profile of the steak.
  • Onion Powder: Adds depth of flavor.
  • Paprika: For a subtle smoky undertone.
  • Olive Oil: Provides moisture and helps in tenderization.
  • Fresh Herbs: Optional, for garnish.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Season the Steak

Begin by generously seasoning both sides of the steak with coarse kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Ensure even distribution of the seasoning for maximum flavor.

2. Let it Rest

Allow the seasoned steak to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This step allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and ensures more even cooking.

3. Tenderization Technique

To tenderize the steak, use a meat tenderizer tool or the back of a chef’s knife to gently pound the meat. Start from the center and work your way outwards, applying even pressure. Be careful not to over-tenderize, as it may result in a mushy texture.
