Steak
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Remove the meat from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes beforehand to reach room temperature.
- 2
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and lightly coat both sides with olive oil.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the pan over high heat and wait until it is very hot.
- 4
Place the steaks in the dry pan and sear without moving for 2-4 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
- 5
Flip the steaks and sear another 2-4 minutes on the other side.
- 6
During searing, press the meat lightly so it has even contact with the pan.
- 7
After cooking, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes so the juices stay inside.
Serving
- 8
Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste and slice.
- 9
Serve immediately, for example with fresh vegetables or roasted potatoes.
More tips:
For more pronounced flavor, add a sprig of rosemary, a clove of garlic, or a knob of butter to the pan near the end of searing.
Use a thermometer to check doneness - for medium rare, the internal temperature should be around 55-57 °C.
