How to Make Steel Cut Oats Ala Alton Brown

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden.
  3. Pour in 3 cups of boiling water, stirring to combine.
  4. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender but still slightly chewy.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of 2% milk and continue to cook for 5 minutes, covered, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and become creamy.
  6. Remove from heat. Divide into four servings. For a single serving, heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes with a splash of milk, a sprinkle of brown sugar, cinnamon, and your favorite nuts or other toppings.
