The Ultimate Guide to Cooking the Perfect Cast Iron Bavette Steak
Discover the Delicious World of Bavette Steak
If you're looking for a steak that's both flavorful and tender, look no further than the **bavette steak**. This lesser-known cut, also known as the sirloin flap, is a hidden gem in the world of beef. It's a versatile cut that can be cooked in various ways, and it always delivers a juicy, delicious result.
Bavette steak comes from the area of the animal next to the flank, which gives it a rich, beefy flavor. It's also a great value for your money, as it's often less expensive than other cuts like ribeye or filet mignon.
Our **bavette steak** is sourced from premium **Corriente beef**, a breed known for its exceptional flavor and tenderness. This means you can be confident that you're getting a high-quality steak that's been raised ethically and sustainably.

Cooking the Perfect Bavette Steak
The key to cooking a perfect bavette steak is to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Here's a simple method you can follow:
- **Season generously:** Pat your bavette steak dry and season it generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- **Preheat your cast iron skillet:** Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. This will create a nice crust on the steak.
- **Sear the steak:** Once the skillet is hot, add the steak and sear for 2-3 minutes per side. You'll know the steak is ready when it's nicely browned and has a good crust.
- **Reduce the heat and cook to your desired doneness:** Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness. A good rule of thumb is to cook it to medium-rare (130-135°F) or medium (140-145°F).
- **Rest before slicing:** Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
