The key to success with this method is a screaming hot pan. Don't be afraid to let the skillet get very hot before adding the oil and steak. Make sure your steak is at room temperature before cooking. This will help it cook more evenly. For thicker steaks, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure accurate doneness. Don't skip the resting period! This is essential for a juicy and tender steak.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is smoking hot (about 5 minutes). Pat the steak dry with paper towels on both sides. Season generously with salt on both sides.
02
StepDrizzle the high-heat cooking oil into the hot skillet. Immediately add the steak and cook for 30 seconds. Flip the steak and cook for another 30 seconds, then flip again. Continue flipping and cooking for 30 seconds on each side.
03
StepContinue flipping until the steak has developed a rich brown crust and reaches your desired level of doneness. For a 1-inch steak, this will take approximately 3-4 minutes of total cooking time. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak to check for doneness: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
04
StepRemove the steak from the skillet and immediately wrap it in two layers of aluminum foil. Allow the steak to rest in a warm place for 5 minutes. This is crucial for allowing the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
05
StepUnwrap the steak, slice against the grain, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
