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 , 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.

Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing
This green goddess dressing recipe makes a creamy, herby, and delicious salad dressing. It's also one of my favorite dips. You can tweak the acidity with more or less lemon and adjust the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.
Quick Sticky Buns
These quick sticky buns are great when you want homemade goodies but don't have all the time to make them. I sometimes use flaked coconut instead of the pecans for a different taste.
Pasta with Fennel and Onions
We learned this pasta with fennel and onions recipe in a cooking class. We love it! The fennel gives the dish's flavor profile a unique flair. We combine it with a grilled sausage with peperonata recipe for a family-style feast!
