Seared strip steak with olive oil and seasonings

{'message': 'Learn how to perfectly sear a strip steak with this simple recipe. By using just a few ingredients and the right techniques, you can achieve a delicious, restaurant-quality steak at home.'}

Ingredients:

1 steak beef fillet
110g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak:
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. This promotes even cooking.
2. Season:
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
- Rub the steak with the salt, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
- Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the steak, pressing it in gently with your fingers.
3. Heat the Pan:
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. It’s important to use a pan that can handle high temperatures, such as cast iron or stainless steel.
- Add the olive oil to the pan and let it heat until it just begins to shimmer. This indicates that the oil is hot enough for searing.
4. Sear the Steak:
- Carefully place the steak in the hot pan. You should hear a sizzle immediately.
- Allow the steak to cook without moving it for about 2-3 minutes. This helps form a crust on the surface.
- Flip the steak using tongs and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Check for Desired Doneness:
- For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
- If you prefer your steak more or less done, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature if needed.
6. Rest the Steak:
- Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the pan and place it on a cutting board.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. This ensures a juicy and flavorful steak.
7. Serve:
- Slice the steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Ensure the steak is at room temperature before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps achieve a better sear.

- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan for the best sear.

- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the steak in batches if necessary.

- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices.
