Dad-Approved Claypot Steaks

By Kyle Libramonte
Prep Time: 1 h. 10 m. • Cook Time: 20 m.
Serves: 1-2
Ingredients:
- 2 12-16 oz Steaks, at least 1 ¼ inches thick (Ribeye, NY Strip, etc.
- 1 bunch Fresh Rosemary, about .5 oz
- 1 bunch Fresh Thyme, about .5 oz
- 1 bulb of Garlic, minced
- 2 cup (2 sticks) Butter
- 1 Tbsp Neutral Oil
- Salt and Pepper for seasoning
Dry Brine Instructions:
- Make sure your steaks are thawed properly. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season with salt, using about 1% of each steak’s weight. (Ex: 20 Ounce Steak, about .2 ounces of salt or 5.7 grams) Season evenly and let it dry brine inside a refrigerator for at least 1 hour, overnight is better.
Instructions:
- Preheat the Magnifique Claypot Cooker to Sear/Sauté High.
- About midway to preheating, add your oil to coat the Claypot evenly, then cover to increase the temperature while preheating.
- Season your steak with pepper to taste. Personally, I like just a pinch on both sides.
- When the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke, it’s ready to sear.! Lay down your steaks and let one side sear for about 5-7 minutes to develop a nice crust.
- Flip and repeat, but this time while getting the crust, be weary of the doneness on the steak that you prefer. Use a thermometer!
- Once the steaks have been seared and cooked to desired doneness, remove them and let them rest on a cooling rack, change the cooking mode to Sear/Sauté Low, and add your butter.
- Once melted, add the garlic, thyme, and rosemary, and mix together.
- Cover the Claypot until the garlic has softened.
- Once ready, add your steaks and start basting them with the butter mix, making sure to brush the greens and spoon the butter on top of each steak, about a minute.
- Let the excess butter drain off the steak when removing them, and allow them to rest for about 10 minutes on a cooling rack.
- Turn off the Claypot Oven and put the garlic rosemary thyme butter in a separate bowl to use as a sauce during service.
- Cut your steak into strips against the grain and enjoy with some extra butter sauce if desired!
