Step 1: Choose Your Cut
Go for quality cuts like:
- Ribeye (juicy & rich)
- Sirloin (lean but flavorful)
- Filet mignon (super tender)
Step 2: Bring to Room Temperature
Take your steak out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking.
This helps it cook evenly.
Step 3: Season Generously
Salt + black pepper is enough.
(Optional: garlic powder or herbs)
Step 4: Heat the Pan (Very Hot!)
Use a cast iron pan or grill.
Add a little oil and wait until it’s smoking hot.
Step 5: Sear the Steak
Place the steak down and don’t move it.
- 2–3 minutes per side → Rare
- 3–4 minutes per side → Medium-rare
- 4–5 minutes per side → Medium
- Longer → Well don Flip only once for best crust.
Step 6: Add Butter & Flavor
In the last minute, add:
- Butter
- Garlic
- Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary)
Spoon the melted butter over the steak.
Step 7: Let It Rest
Remove from heat and let it rest 5–10 minutes.
This keeps the juices inside. Step 8: Slice & Enjoy
Cut against the grain and serve.
