We’ve all been there, a leftover steak that’s too good to waste but tricky to reheat. You want it warm and juicy again, but not twice cooked over, dry or gray.
Luckily, there’s a simple way to bring it back to life.
The Oven-Then-Sear Method
This is our go-to for keeping flavor and tenderness:
-
Bring to room temp. Take your steak out of the fridge and let it rest on the counter for 20–30 minutes.
-
Warm it low and slow. Place it on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Heat in a 250°F oven for about 20–25 minutes (or until it reaches 110–120°F inside).
-
Finish with a quick sear. Heat a skillet with a touch of butter or oil and give each side about 45 seconds to crisp.
You’ll end up with a warm center and that delicious crust all over again.
Bonus: The Quick Skillet Trick
If you’re in a hurry, slice your steak thin, toss it in a hot skillet with a dab of butter, and stir just until warm. Great for steak sandwiches or salads.
One Last Tip
Never microwave a good steak. You worked too hard for that dry-aged flavor, the microwave just doesn’t do it justice.
These are all just my opinions based on good and bad steak choices. I've learned the hard way so you don't have to.
XOXO,
Louisa

Dry Aged Beef with Himalayan Salt
I love the science of the aging process. Just wanted to share some tidbits I've picked up along the way. Dry aged beef is already rich and tender, but Himalayan salt adds another layer of flavor and balance. From salt chambers that guide the aging process to a simple finishing sprinkle at the table, it helps beef shine without overpowering it.
