What is a Striploin Steak?
When you want a quick and easy steak dinner, striploin’s are always the way to go. Striploin steaks are a tender cut of meat that has a good amount of marbling and are less expensive than your fancy cuts like filet mignon.
What’s The Best Way to Cook a Striploin Steak?
The 2 best ways to cook steak are on the BBQ or on a cast iron skillet. These two options will make sure you get the most delicious, tender and juicy steak if cooked to your preferred temperature.
Using a cast iron skillet allows for the temperature to get super hot, so you get that nice golden sear you are looking for. Once you get that sear, the cast iron skillet doesn’t have hot spots so your steak will cook evenly all the way through.
The rule of thumb is to typically cook your striploin steak for 3-4 minutes per side on medium heat. Don’t forget to cook on the fat cap to render the fat.
Cooking Temperatures
- Rare steak, cook to 125 degrees F
- Medium Rare cook to 135 degrees F
- Medium cook to 145 degrees F
- Medium Well cook to 155 degrees F
- Well Done cook to 160 degrees F
Always, we mean always, allow your steaks to rest for a minimum of 5 minutes.
