- Today, I'm gonna be trying to make perfect steak
using the Good Cooking Steak Stone Deluxe Serving Set.
Now, usually, people say you need a cast iron
to get the perfect steak,
but we're gonna see if we can get one
using only the Steak Stone.
Let's get started.
This thing costs about $65 on Amazon.
This version comes with this really cool serving plate
and then these sauce cups as well.
There is a version of this that you can get
without the extra serving utensils,
but this is Tasty's money, so let's go big.
So I'm pulling the stone out here,
and this thing has got some nice weight on it.
This is at least a good five to seven pounds,
if not a little bit heavier.
So this thing is supposed to give you perfect steak,
right at your dinner table.
It's kind of like a hibachi grill experience,
which we can't really get right now.
So let's heat this up and test it out.
Mm.
Na na na na.
And now we have our heated steak stone here.
I'm gonna be super careful not to touch this thing
'cause I can feel the heat radiating off of it.
You're supposed to hit this with a little dab of olive oil.
Do that now.
And for the steak,
I've got a really nice cut of meat right here.
I just seasoned it with salt and pepper.
Didn't want to do too much.
I kinda want to let all the magic happen on the stone.
And with that said, let's get this baby cooking.
I hope we get that really satisfying sizzle.
I'm really, really looking forward to that.
All right, moment of truth.
Here we go.
(steak sizzles)
I had to just let you guys enjoy this sizzle
that I heard right there,
like, oh, that was super beautiful.
That makes me... you can see it smoking here.
You really feel like you're at a hibachi experience,
for real, seriously.
We're really gonna go for like a medium-rare today.
So I'm gonna let this thing cook
for about five minutes on each side,
try not to touch it too much,
and then we'll cut it open and see what's happening.
(steak sizzling)
So usually when you flip your steak for the first time
in a cast iron, you get that really nice crust.
Let's see what we get here.
It's been about five minutes.
Oh, wow. Look at that, guys.
Look at that.
Oh, that looks beautiful.
It says in the instructions
that this thing will stay sizzling hot
for about 20 to 30 minutes,
but it'll still be cooking for 40 to 50 minutes
after you take it out of the oven.
So that showstopping sizzling moment's only good
at the beginning,
but you don't have to reheat this thing every 20 minutes,
which would feel like it kind of defeats the purpose,
but so far, so good.
So I'm feeling pretty hopeful
about getting this thing cooked well all the way through.
The top of this crust looks super great,
and I'm really impressed with what we got on this side.
So let's see what happens on the other side.
This is a pretty thick cut of meat.
So like I said, I'm gonna leave it on a little bit longer
than five minutes.
We'll probably sit around seven to 10 minutes,
but this thing is supposed to cook really slow,
so you don't overcook it,
so I don't think I'm going to do that.
I know I shouldn't touch it so too much,
but I really want to see what's happening
on this other side here.
What do you say? Let's take a peek, yeah?
I don't know guys.
I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing.
Like I said, the science is not exact here.
I've never cooked on a steak stone before,
but this steak is looking really good to me.
I'm gonna let it rest, and then while it's resting,
let's see how these vegetables turn out.
All right. Let's put some asparagus on here.
(asparagus sizzles)
Nice sizzle.
Boom.
Ooh, lost one.
Huh!
Wouldn't advise you do that with your fingers.
Asparagus is on here.
I'm really just looking for this
to get a little bit tender.
We'll see how long it takes
for it to get to the texture that we normally like.
Still have a little bit of a bite to it.
Not super soft.
I think it would take forever
to get to get thing to be super soft anyway.
I'm even getting that little whistle, too.
So this thing's really cooking.
Tongs are perfect for this thing.
I can already tell the asparagus
is getting nice and toasted.
It's getting real limp here,
which makes me know that it's obviously cooking.
So I'm gonna pull this off.
we can put it right back on our plate here.
No big deal.
So our asparagus probably took
a little less than five minutes.
I'm just gonna put a little bit of olive oil there,
a little bit of salt.
That's a lot of salt.
Don't worry about it.
We're here for the steak, not the vegetables.
Asparagus is done.
I think it looks pretty good.
It took less than five minutes to cook.
I'm just gonna taste it quickly.
Mm.
Nice and crunchy.
Mm. Perfect amount of salt, actually.
What's the proper way to eat asparagus?
It's so long. (sheep bleats)
This tastes really delicious,
but again, our focus is on the steak,
so let's go see how that turned out.
All right. Moment of truth.
I've let it rest.
I'm gonna cut into it.
See what we got here.
All right, all right.
We're in like a little bit of a medium rare
to medium situation here.
Totally fine. I don't think we overcooked it at all.
I feel like hibachi-style grilling isn't something
that's gonna be coming back right away,
so this might be a pretty good alternative to going out
and still being able to get that same feeling at home.
(gentle music)
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
That is so, so, so, so good.
The steak sauce really takes that over the top.
I think you've got a nice gradual change
between the pink and the center,
and overall, I'm pretty happy with this.
So we just cooked steak
on the Good Cooking Steak Stone Deluxe Serving Kit.
I think overall the experience went really well.
I'm not gonna say
that you're getting a phenomenally different steak
that you would if you used a cast iron,
but it's a really cool experience
to kind of have that hibachi grill situation
right at your dinner table,
and I think it will be a really, really great gift
for someone at this time when we're all at home.
So this thing costs $65 on Amazon.
It does exactly what it said it would.
it gave us pretty good steak, it gave us perfect vegetables,
And I'm gonna give it two thumbs up for sure.
(bell chimes)
Well, there you have it, folks.
That's how you cook steak
on the Good Cooking Steak Stone Deluxe Serving Set.

- [Man] Oh yes!
