Chef reveals secret to perfect steak – need to know
- A professional chef has revealed his technique for cooking restaurant-quality steak at home. His YouTube tutorial, which demonstrates how, has over two million views.
- Culinary instructor Frank Proto’s viral video shows how to transform “sad, grey, flabby” meat into perfectly cooked steak. He insists that “patience is key” and emphasises proper seasoning as one of two crucial secrets.
- The chef strongly advises against using table salt, describing it as “horrible” and “too salty”. Instead, he recommends kosher salt, which can be found at artisan food shops or purchased online through retailers like Amazon.
- Proto’s technique involves seasoning from a height to ensure even distribution. He told viewers: “When I season higher, I get a better dispersion of the pepper.”
- The chef advocates for a minimalist approach, using only salt and light pepper. He explained: “I tend to be a minimalist when it comes to seasoning my steak… I spent the money on the steak, I want to taste the meat.”
- Viewers have praised the tutorial, with one commenting: “This is the best steak cooking tutorial! Thank you!” Another said the technique “topped anything we did before”.
