Cooking a perfect steak is all about timing, heat, and seasoning. Whether you like it rare,
medium, or well-done, following these steps will help you achieve a delicious result.
Ingredients:
- 1 steak (sirloin, ribeye, or fillet)
- Salt and black pepper
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Optional: garlic cloves, rosemary, or thyme for flavor
Instructions:
- Take the steak out of the fridge and let it reach room temperature (about 30 minutes).
- Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a pan over high heat until very hot, then add oil or butter.
- Place the steak in the pan and sear without moving it for 2–3 minutes (for
medium-rare).
- Flip the steak and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- For extra flavor, add garlic, rosemary, or thyme to the pan and spoon the juices over
the steak.
- Remove from heat and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
