Bacon Fried Steak Recipes

BACON FAT BASTED STEAK

Steps:

• Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry and season generously with kosher salt and pepper on all sides. Stand the steak up on the strip of fat in the skillet and hold it with tongs until the fat renders and the skillet is slick, about 2 minutes.
• Place the steak flat in the skillet and sear until deep brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until starting to brown, 2 to 3 more minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the rosemary and garlic to the skillet and spoon the bacon fat over the steak. Continue cooking, tilting the skillet every so often and spooning the bacon fat up over the top of the steak, until a thermometer inserted sideways into the thickest part registers 120 degrees F for medium rare, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain. To serve, spoon the rosemary-infused bacon fat over the slices and sprinkle with flaky salt.

• Remove the skillet from the stovetop and place into the oven to finish cooking. Cook until medium rare, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

• Place back in the oven and cook for another 10 - 15 minutes, or, until the bacon looks crispy.
• Serve immediately with "Bacon Sour Cream". (Sour Cream that you've added cooked, ground bacon).

Steps:

Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.
• Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak. Repeat with the remaining steak. Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.
