This Japanese-style triple-seared steak technique may sound like 2 sears too many, but it is not. It is an absolute game-changer that produces an incredibly delicious steak with a beautiful crust.
Ingredients
- 1 filet mignon , 8 ounce
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons sea salt
- 0.33 cups Japanese whiskey
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
-
1
Before starting the triple-searing process, build a very hot hardwood charcoal fire. Oak, mesquite or hickory are great choices. The coals should be glowing red, and radiating extreme heat before the meat hits the grill.
-
2
Rub steak all over with oil. Coat with sea salt until entire surface area is completely covered.
-
3
Pour whiskey into a shallow bowl; set aside.
-
4
Place steak on hottest spot on the grill, and sear both sides, about 2 1/2 minutes per side.
-
5
Transfer steak into bowl of whiskey, and turn constantly for at least 1 minute. Most of the salt will rinse off.
-
6
Place steak back onto the hottest spot on the grill, and sear both sides again, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. You can baste steak with a small amount of whiskey while searing.
-
7
Add soy sauce to another shallow bowl. Add steak to the bowl, and turn constantly for at least 1 minute.
-
8
Return steak to the hottest spot on the grill for the 3rd and final sear. Grill both sides for about 2 1/2 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. For a rosy-pink inside, remove when an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center reads 118 to 120 F (48 to 50 degrees C).
-
9
Brush steak with melted butter, and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Slice and serve with any accumulated juices from the plate.

Cardamom Creme Brulee Parfait with Candied Pumpkin
Here is a classic dessert with a bit of a twist that will stun your Thanksgiving guests, plus it's a great excuse to buy a kitchen torch if you don't already have one. If the idea of parfaits feels like a bit too much work here, feel free to bake the custard in the traditional way in ramekins, brulee the top, then garnish with the candied pumpkin. You can use a 2-inch round cutter for a round serving dish such as a stemmed champagne coupe. These can be made 2 to 3 days ahead, stored in the freezer. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Serve as-is or with whipped cream or caramel sauce.
Irish Soda Bread with Raisins
Love Irish soda bread with raisins with a good cup of tea or coffee. You can add an egg wash to the top of the bread and then sprinkle with sugar before baking, if desired.
Crispy Grilled Pizza Margherita
Pizza on an outdoor grill is a great alternative to oven-cooked pizza. If you love crispy crust, this is for you. Note: cook time is relatively short, so alternative toppings like uncooked sausage or other meats may not cook fully.
