Steak in a Pan

When you want steak but don't have a grill
Author: Justin Holmes

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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 with your choice of dipping sauce if you want and a side of veggies and you'll be a winner all day long!
  • Enjoy!
