Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. This promotes even cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
