A cooking method gentler than boiling, simmering refers to cooking food in liquid (or cooking just the liquid itself) at a temperature slightly below the boiling pointâaround 180 to 190 degrees.
up vote -1 down vote. Once the steak has reached room temperature, about 20-30 minutes, it should be cooked. You can put the rub on the steak and refrigerate it for several hours, or overnight, but it should be rest 20-30 minutes before cooking. No longer than that.
I read over at Serious eats that when seasoning a steak, you either need to cook it immediately after salting, or after 40 minutes and more. Anyway, they say that after the 40 minute mark, the longer I leave the meat to rest, the better it will come out at the end.
