Steak is the one thing I can get consistently better than restaurants. It's all thanks to the book "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking"

It's a text book size cookbook. The author experiments different cooking methods and documents, taste tests.

It boiled down to seasoning the steak over night so the salt extracts juices and tenderizes. Getting the temperature just perfect using a thermometer (I have a Ninja Foodi Grill that does it automatically).

The quality and thickness of meat also matters. I get mine at Costco or Sam's Club.

My pasta game is a lot better too. Main thing was to stir as the pasta cooks.

I owe so much of my cooking to that book!
