Tips
- Take the steak out of the fridge and let it sit for at least 20-30 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature. This helps the steak cook more evenly, helps the searing process, and makes the steak less tough.
- Do not move around the steak or touch it when searing.
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135 degrees Fahrenheit, and for medium, 140-145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remember that the steak will continue to cook a little bit after it's removed from the pan, so for medium, take it off at 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let your steak rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting into it to allow the juices to redistribute.
