Steak War

Dinner in Orange County isn’t called “The California Rivera” for nothing, largely due to its impressive list of restaurants. If your going to do steak, you do steak at Bistango by Chef Javier Montoya. The key to his renowned steaks is in the cut. His favorite is the New York cut about two inches thick. I have been dining at this restaurant for over eleven years so the Ghoukassian family owners were kind enough to let me take a peak as my dish was being prepared.

~ Prepping is key! According to Chef Motoya let the steak get to room temperature. Preheat the grill or a heavy skillet if your using a stove over high heat. Brush steak with olive oil and only season with sea salt and fresh pepper.

~ Sear and cook the steak to medium rate which is a warm and pink center. Let steak sit for about ten minutes before serving. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with more sea salt.
