Whole30 Day 21: The Perfect Steak + A ThermoWorks Giveaway! by Michelle Tam https://nomnompaleo.com

Yes, Virginia, there is a perfect way to cook a steak. And according to Cook’s illustrated, you don’t need a marinade, fancy sauces, a sous vide cooker, or a kitchen torch. To achieve a steak worthy of greatness, you just need to cook your meat to the proper temperature before finishing it off with a quick sear. Of course, this begs the all-important question: how can you ensure your steak reaches—but doesn’t soar past—the precise temperatures called for by the food nerds at Cook’s Illustrated?

The answer: whip out a super-accurate, super-fast Thermapen and a ChefAlarm professional in-oven thermometer, and use this recipe. Call me obsessive, but I have no problem using two separate meat thermometers if it guarantees that I’ll have a perfectly-cooked steak for dinner. Besides, if I’m going to splurge on a fancy (read: pricy) cut of meat, the last thing I want to do is screw it up.
