Simple pan-fried steak
- 1/2 t-bone steak
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds
- 1 timer - e.g. on your mobile
- Unfreeze steak and let it rest until it is of a room temperature.
- Heat your pan on a fire of maximum intensity.
- Pour oil a little and spread it evenly using a brush.
- Rub salt and spices into the meat.
- Get your timer ready.
- Make sure the pan is very hot.
- Sear the steak 1 minute strictly for each sides.
- Now the meat juices are sealed, and won't be leaking like crazy.
- They need to be kept inside, since we don't want leathery piece as a result.
- The timer should indicate 2 minutes by now.
- Depending on its thickness, steak should be prepared for 5-7 minutes on each side to reach desired state.
- Decrease fire a little, and continue cooking.
- Add butter before turning the steak.
- Spread it evenly using brush.
- Turn the steak and continue cooking.
- Avoid piercing it while turning or testing its state.
- We don't want these juices running, do we?
- When steak is properly fried, let it rest for 10 minutes on a plate.
- It allows juices to spread evenly for better taste.
