Pan Seared Chuck Roast Steaks Recipe
Ingredients:
2 pound beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions:
1. Cut the chuck roast into 4 equal steaks, about 1 1/2 inches thick.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with the spice mixture.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Add the seasoned steaks to the hot pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness.
6. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, tented with foil.
7. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the beef broth to the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
8. Simmer the broth for 1-2 minutes, then add the butter and whisk until melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
9. Return the steaks to the pan along with any accumulated juices, spooning the sauce over them.
10. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Air Fryer Instructions:
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Follow steps 1-3 from the stovetop instructions.
3. Place the seasoned steaks in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
4. Cook for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
5. While the steaks are cooking, prepare the pan sauce on the stovetop following steps 7-8.
6. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving with the pan sauce and garnishing with parsley.
Notes:
- For best results, bring the steaks to room temperature before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired doneness: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
