Plans for a new library were already under way and with funding assistance from the City of Seabrook, a new state-of-the-art facility was completed in 2011. The new Evelyn Meador Library reopened on June 28th, 2011, two days after the 23rd anniversary of the original opening in 1988.
1 Salt your steak at least 40 minutes before you cook it. 2  Most cooks salt their steaks right before placing it on the grill. 3  Because salt is a desiccant, this draws the moisture out to the surface of the steak, where it gets seared off immediately.4  This produces mostly an underwhelming steak. First, a steak that has come to room temperature will cook more evenly. 2  You won't have a hot exterior and a chilly interior. 3  Second, the steak will cook quicker. 4  This means less time on the grill, or the frying pan, or in the oven, and more time spent sipping wine.
1 Season the steak/s with black pepper, then allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. 2  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 3  Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat or just until the oil begins to lightly smoke. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads to desired doneness (oven cooking time will be anywhere from 5-15 minutes depending on the desired doneness of your steak --- for medium-rare 140-145 degrees and for medium 155-160 degrees.
