Steak and Potato Skillet

Sirloin cut into cubes and seared hard in a cast iron skillet, together with baby potatoes cooked until golden outside and soft inside, finished with garlic butter.

Reverse-Sear Steak (Oven and Cast Iron) with steak, butter and garlic — USA recipe

Meat Dishes

Reverse-Sear Steak (Oven and Cast Iron)

Reverse-sear steak is a thick ribeye or strip steak that is first warmed slowly in a 120°C oven to about 10°C below the target temperature, then seared in a very hot cast-iron skillet. Because the whole steak is already almost at temperature when it meets the pan, the sear only builds the crust and does not overcook the meat beneath it. The result is even pink from edge to edge with a dark crust and no wide gray band. You need a thermometer, and the dry brine takes at least an hour before you start.

Nigerian Beef Suya with beef sirloin, roasted peanuts and cayenne pepper — Nigeria recipe

🇳🇬NigeriaMedium

Meat Dishes

Nigerian Beef Suya

Suya is Nigerian street food at its most elemental: thinly sliced beef, threaded on skewers, coated in yaji — a dry spice mix built on ground roasted peanuts, cayenne, ginger, and paprika — then grilled over high heat until the edges char and the spice crust sets. It originated with the Hausa people of northern Nigeria and has become a national dish. The yaji goes on twice: once as a marinade before cooking, once as a dry finish sprinkled over the hot meat right off the grill. That second application is what separates suya from ordinary grilled meat. The beef marinates in the yaji for at least 30 minutes, or overnight. Serve with raw onion, tomato slices, and another pinch of yaji. Street vendors hand it over in newspaper; at home, serve it on baking paper.
