Cooking Steak with Lava

Cooking Steak with Lava Introduction: Cooking steak is an art, but cooking it with lava? Now that's a true culinary adventure. The intense heat from the molten rock sears the steak to perfection, locking in flavors while creating a crispy crust. This technique might sound extreme, but with the right tools, you can bring the searing heat of lava to your home kitchen for a unique experience. Ingredients: 1-inch thick ribeye or sirloin steak (preferably grass-fed) 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling) 1 tablespoon butter (for basting) Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 sprig of rosemary (for garnish) 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (optional, for added flavor) 1 lemon wedge (optional, for serving) Instructions/How to Cook: Preparing the Lava Stone: Before you start cooking, you’ll need a lava stone or a similar heat-resistant rock that can handle high temperatures. Heat it in a suitable oven or outdoor fire pit until it reaches around 1200°F (650°C), which is the temperature that replicates molten lava’s searing heat. Be sure the stone is clean and dry before use. Preparing the Steak: While the lava stone heats up, season your steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure an even cook.
