How To Boil Steak

• Rub the steak with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for about 45 minutes.
• Place a deep skillet over high heat. Add 2 inches of milk.
• Bring the milk to a boil. Add rosemary and seasoned steak.
• Place the lid on and let the steaks boil for about 10 minutes.
• Cook them until the internal temperature reaches about 135 F degree for medium-rare.
• Remove the steaks from the skillet. Let it rest for about 10 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips For The Best Boiled Steak

• Let Your Steak Get to Room Temperature: It may seem counterintuitive to let the meat sit out on the counter, but a room-temperature steak will cook much more evenly than one straight out of the fridge.
• Use a Meat Thermometer: This is the most effective way to guarantee that your steak is cooked just to your liking without repeatedly cutting it open to check. An instant-read thermometer is best. Make sure to insert it in the thickest part of the meat.
• Adjust the Cook Time: Thicker steaks will need to cook longer, but so will bone-in cuts. If you’re using a bone-in steak, add 3 minutes per side.

How Long To Boil Steak?

This recipe takes 12 minutes to boil, assuming your steaks are 1-inch thick. Thicker cuts of meat will naturally require more time, which is why it’s beneficial to have a meat thermometer, to ensure a fully cooked steak.

Steak Doneness & Temperature

Don’t go lower than 135℉, which will make your steak medium rare. For a medium steak, with only some pink in the center, aim for 145℉. And if you like your steak well done, with no pink, wait until the internal temperature has reached 160℉.

When using an instant-read thermometer, insert it horizontally into the side of the steak, so that it can penetrate the thickest part of the center of the steak. Be sure not to touch the bone.
