PFGH Steak

PFGH could stand for 2 things:

Pretty Freaking Good, Heavely 

or

Pan Fried Garlic and Herb

Either way, it's fitting to this steak. 

I love a grilled steak but when I don't have a grill available (which I often do not), I love to pan fry it like this. It keeps the integrity of the steak but still allows flavors to develop beautifully.

Ingredients:

  • Steak- whatever cut you prefer
    • I just happened to have some Tri Tip on hand :)
  • Garlic- crushed or minced
    • Quantity depends on how much you like garlic. I like it so I add a nice helping
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • Herbs
    • I usually use parsely but this time decided to go with some Thyme- I'm an equal opportunity herb-ist

Instructions:

  • Season steak with salt (Himalayan, ideally) and pepper
  • Heat up your pan on high, melting the coconut oil
  • Once the pan is hot and oil melted, drop your steak into it
    • 1 min on each side on high heat to sear the sides
  • Turn down the heat to medium, add garlic and parsley to the oil
  • Flip your steak again and sear each side for 30-60 more sec while dousing the garlic/parsley/oil mix over the top of the steak over and over until ready to flip once and then remove
  • This should give you a medium-rareish steak- for a more done steak, increase the time for the second set of sears by 30-60 seconds
I paired my steak with corn and cucumber... because I like cucumbers, I like corn, so why not?!



Hope you enjoy!

Love,
Paulina
