How to cook steak on stovestop

 

Pan-searing in a cast iron pan is the easiest way to cook steak. 

Ingredients:

Steak (preferably ribeye or sirlion)

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon salt (not too much or your steak will be salty)

2 garlic cloves (smashed lightly, skin on)

Fresh herb e.g. rosemary or thyme (optional)

Method

1. Make sure the steak is at room temperature before you cook it, and pat dry on both sides so that there is no excess moisture.

2. Season with salt and dash of freshly ground black pepper. Then lightly coat the beef with bread flour (helps to get the brown crust).

3. Turn on exhaust fan and heat up the cast iron pan until it is smoking. Add a little cooking oil into the pan.

4. Set the steak into the pan and just leave it. You only need to turn once. After about 2 minutes, turn and you should get a nice golden brown crust.

5. Add butter, garlic and herb (if using) into the pan. Baste the steak with the garlic infused butter. Cook for another 2 minutes (to get medium rare steak).

6. Transfer the steak to a serving plate, cover with aluminum foil and rest it for 3 minutes (to get juicy steak). Once it’s properly rested, take a sharp knife and you should easily cut through the steak like butter. Enjoy!
