Pan Seared Steak

Craving a steak with a fantastic crust but don’t have a grill? No problem at all! Follow this easy group of directions to recreate this masterpiece shown in the video below. This steak was so good my mouth was watering just posting the pictures. I added some chimichurri sauce on the side as a dip but you can add whatever you want to bring your steak to the next level. Sauce and/or dip is not necessary.

Here’s what I used to get this yummy steak cooked and on the plate:

• 1 Steak
• granulated salt
• olive oil
• 1 pan

Without further delay, let’s get cooking!

Starting out, pat dry and salt your steak then place in the refrigerator on a plate for 6 hours or overnight.

When you’re ready to cook the steak, bring a pan up to a high heat and put in some olive oil.

Place your steak into the pan, make sure the steak makes good contact with the pan. Let it sit to start building up a yummy crust. (Use a Chef’s Press to help make extra good contact to the pan if you want).

Use a meat thermometer to check your steak regularly.

Flip the steak as you get the crust that you desire. Should generally take 3-5 minutes on each side, but that depends on your preference.

Let your steak rest 3-5 minutes.

Top off your steak with some granulated salt if you should so desire. (I highly recommend)

Serve your steak with your choice of dipping sauce if you want and a side of veggies and you will be a winner all day long!

Enjoy!
