4/7/2021 How To Cook Steak On The Stovetop - Once Upon a Chef

Pan-Seared Steaks
Pan-searing is the best way to cook a steak, and it’s also the easiest!

Servings: 2 to 4
Prep Time: 4 Minutes
Cook Time: 6 Minutes
Total Time: 10 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

2 (12-oz) New York strip or ribeye steaks or 4 (six-oz) let mignons, about
1-1/2-inches thick
1 heaping teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
A few sprigs fresh thyme leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

To begin, pat the steaks dry with paper towels.

Season the steaks all over with the salt and pepper.

Turn on your exhaust fan and heat a heavy pan (preferably cast iron or stainless steel) over medium-high heat until it's VERY hot.

Add the oil to the pan and heat until it begins to shimmer and move uidly around the pan.

Carefully set the steaks in the pan, releasing them away from you so the oil doesn’t splatter in your direction. e oil should sizzle.

Leave the steaks alone! Avoid the temptation to peek or ddle or ip repeatedly; the steaks need a few minutes undisturbed to
develop a golden crust. Flip the steaks when they release easily and the bottom is a deep-brown color, about 3 minutes. Continue to
cook the steaks for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side for rare to medium-rare. (For medium, cook 4 to 5 minutes on second
side; for well-done, cook 5 to 6 minutes on second side).

During the last minute of cooking, add the butter and thyme sprigs to the pan with the steaks.

If you are serving the steaks unsliced, transfer them to plates and serve hot. If you plan to slice the steaks, transfer them to a cutting
board and let rest, covered with aluminum foil, for 5 to 10 minutes; then slice thinly against the grain.
