ELITE Tier Beef Steak

From my personal collection of recipes.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Pat the steak dry and season it.
  2. Preheat a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
  3. Sear both sides until browned, turning carefully. Reduce the heat if the oil smokes.
  4. Continue cooking as needed for the thickness, checking the center with a food thermometer.
  5. For food safety, reach at least 63°C internally, then rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.

Pan heat, steak thickness, and starting temperature affect cooking time; no fixed time guarantees doneness.
