Cooking a steak is easier than you think it is.
- Let the raw meat sit at room temperature with salt and any other seasonings on it for half an hour
- Hot pan with oil
- Sear all sides including the fat, 1-3 min per side
- Reduce heat and cook on low until it reaches the internal temp you want (for example medium, how I like my steak, is between 140-150F)
- For extra flavor melt butter in the pan with the steak and fry garlic and herbs in the butter and spoon it over the steak
- Put the steak on a cutting board and tent it with foil. Let it sit for 10 min. Finish up any other dishes while you’re waiting.
