HELLFIRE T-BONE

Steps:

• Place steak on a plate and sprinkle both sides with salt and plenty of pepper and the dry mustard.
• Rub the spices into the meat with a fork or your hand.
• Drizzle the steaks with tobasco sauce and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• Brush and oil the grill grate.
• Arrange steaks on the hot grill grate at a 45 degree angle.
• Grill 4 - 6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Rotate the steaks after 3 minutes for attractive cross-hatch marks.
• Coarsely grind as much pepper as you can bear over the steaks as they grill.
• Transfer steaks to plate and let stand for 3 minutes, then serve.

PAN SEARED T-BONE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 'oven finish' your T-bone if you have a thick-cut steak (1 1/2 inches in thickness or more). Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and make sure to use an oven-safe skillet.
• Heat your medium to large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan with the olive oil over medium-high heat. As soon as it starts to smoke, it is ready to have the steaks added.
• While your skillet is heating, season both sides of your steak generously using the homemade steak seasoning (1/2 to 1 Tbsp portion of seasoning). Pat the seasoning into place, and do not rub it into the steak as the seasoning can accumulate rather than being spread evenly. *Don't forget to season any fatty strips and the sides of your T-bone steak!
• Place your seasoned T-bone steak, garlic, and herbs in the hot skillet and allow the steak to cook, without moving it, for 4 minutes or until browned and caramelization has begun.
• Turn your steak over and cook on the second side for 4 minutes, then add your tablespoon pat of butter. Allow the butter to melt, then tip your pan toward you and spoon (or 'arroser') the butter over the steaks to add moisture and flavor back into your cooked steak.
• The steaks are done when both sides are browned and have an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Thick-cut T-Bone Steak: Alternatively, place your seared T-bone into the oven to finish. Cook in the oven until the steak reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or 130°F (54°C) degrees for medium.
• I usually use tongs to sear the ribbon of fat on the steak edges before removing from the heat. Transfer your steaks to a plate or platter, then drizzle the pan juices along with the herbs and garlic to set on your steaks while they rest.
• Use a square of aluminum foil to loosely 'tent' over your steaks while resting, then allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

PAN SEARED T-BONE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. A half-hour before cooking, remove steak from refrigerator.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet and when it begins to smoke add steak. Reduce heat slightly and cook steak until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cut steak from the bone and carve meat across the grain.

HELLFIRE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce to a low boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until it is melted and thoroughly blended. Take 9 ounces of the Hellfire base and whisk in the ground habanero, cayenne and ghost peppers.

ALL-AMERICAN T-BONE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put an ovenproof griddle pan on a high heat. Season the steak on both sides, then rub both sides with the garlic cloves, thyme and olive oil. Put the steak in the hot pan and char the underside for 2 mins or until griddle lines appear. Turn the steak over to brown the other side, rub the top with the thyme again, then lay the thyme and garlic on top of the meat.
• Once evenly browned all over with griddle lines, put the thyme and garlic to one side, hold the steak with a pair of tongs to cook its fatty side and render it down so it's soft rather than gristly. This will take a few mins. Lay the steak flat again, put the thyme, garlic and butter on top and transfer the pan to the oven to finish cooking for 4-5 mins, until the meat reaches 62-65C on a probe thermometer (or until cooked to your liking).
• Rest the meat for 5-6 mins. Serve on a board or large plate in the middle of the table.
