Stake your claim...


Or steak it, if you want. Whatever you do, be sure to check out our steak story in Life today. Assuming you're a carnivore...


My favorite way to cook a steak involves just a handful of things: A burnin' hot oven (500 degrees), a cast-iron skillet (my grandmother gave it to me so it's beyond seasoned), a dab of peanut oil, Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, and a nicely-marbled porterhouse.


How do you cook your steak to perfection?

Unless there is snow on the ground in excess of 6", I'm cooking my steak on my Weber gas grill. I also season with just salt, pepper and a bit of peanut oil to prevent sticking. Blazing hot, 5-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Don't forget to let it rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil if you like.

Cook under the broiler, usually about 4 inches from the broiler element (put the oven rack in the the top position) for 6 minutes per side. Let sit for at least 5 minutes before cutting.
