Searing steak


Key to searing your steak properly is to leave it alone! Yes, put it into a really hot pan and stop fudging it. From the last post, a few have asked me how long to sear a steak if you want it medium or well done. The answer really depends. It depends on the thickness of the steak and the temperature of your pan. You will get better once you have more experience searing your own steaks but here is a guide from simplyrecipes.com to speed up the learning process. Use your finger and poke at the steak while it is being cooked in the pan. Match it to the tenderness of your palm as it is pinched below.

Honestly, for me I would not recommend cooking a good juicy piece of steak anywhere beyond medium rare. Have fun and enjoy cooking for your loved ones!
