There’s nothing quite like a perfectly cooked steak, seared to perfection on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. But what if we told you that restaurant-quality steak is achievable right in your own kitchen?
At The Lucky Pig, we know that great steak starts with great technique and the right tools. Whether you’re pan-searing, grilling, or cooking over an open flame, these three must-have essentials will take your steak game to the next level.
1. Grassfed Beef Tallow: The Ultimate Cooking Fat
For a rich, flavourful crust, you need a high-quality cooking fat, and nothing beats @thesteaklad Grassfed Beef Tallow. Unlike vegetable oils, beef tallow has a high smoke point and is packed with natural beefy goodness, helping you achieve that golden, restaurant-quality sear.
Why Use Grassfed Beef Tallow?
- Enhances natural beef flavour
- Creates the perfect crispy crust
- High smoke point for searing
- 100% natural and free from additives
Pro Tip: Lightly coat your steak with beef tallow before cooking, then add a little more to your hot pan for a flawless, even sear.
2. Coarse Rock Salt: The Key to Maximum Flavour
The difference between an average steak and a spectacular steak? Proper seasoning.
Using coarse rock salt allows for better absorption and enhances the natural umami of the beef. It also helps to create that signature crusty sear that steak lovers crave.
How to Use It Right:
- Generously season both sides of your steak at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the salt to penetrate the meat.
- If you’re short on time, season just before cooking, but don’t skimp!
- Avoid fine table salt, it dissolves too quickly and won’t give you the same depth of flavour.
3. Tramontina x Lucky Pig Steak Knives: The Ultimate Cutting Tool
A great steak deserves a great knife, and that’s why we’ve teamed up with Tramontina to bring you the Tramontina x The Lucky Pig Steak Knife Collaboration.
