How to make best steak

Here is a simple guide to making the best steak:

1. 1-2 steaks, cut to desired thickness

2. Salt

3. Freshly ground black pepper

4. Olive oil or melted butter

1. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour.

2. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.

3. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan, such as a cast-iron skillet, over high heat until it is very hot.

4. Add a bit of olive oil or melted butter to the pan and swirl to coat.

5. Place the steaks in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.

6. Use tongs to flip the steaks and avoid piercing the meat with a fork, which can release juices.

7. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes.

8. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked steak!
