Achieve a flavorful crust and tender center with the proper steak-searing technique. Using simple seasoning, this method locks in juices and creates restaurant-quality results at home.

Instructions

  • Let 6 ounce steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  • Pat steak dry with paper towel to achieve good sear. Season steak with 1 pinch sea salt and 1 pinch pepper on both sides.

  • Place pan on medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. When oil is hot, place steak in pan, dropping steak away from you to prevent any hot oil from splashing.

  • Lower heat to medium, not moving steak for 2 to 3 minutes to create crispy sear.
  • If steak was at room temperature, cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes. 
  • For medium steak, use a meat thermometer and remove from pan when internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F / 57 degrees C.
  • Allow steak to rest for five minutes before slicing. This helps natural juices to absorb back into meat.
  • Cover in 1 tablespoon butter and enjoy!
