How to Cook a Steak in a Jar
I saw a video demonstrating this cooking method and I had to try it out for myself.
Equipment
- 1 quart mason jar
Ingredients
- 1 lb. rib eye steak well marbled
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- 10 peppercorns
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 onion small
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 3 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
Instructions
- Cover both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned steak into the mason jar. Add all of the other ingredients.
- Seal the jar with the lid and but not too tightly.
- Line a deep saucepan or a pot with a cloth napkin or dishcloth. Add the jar.
- Fill the pot with boiling water so that 2/3 of the jar is submerged.
- Bring the water up to the boil and then reduce to a low simmer.
- Cook for 3-3 1/2 hours.
- Using pot holders remove the jar and unseal. Pour the steak out onto a shallow dish and serve with a crusty loaf of bread.
