How to Cook a Steak Stovetop

In another post, I go over how to cook a steak, but the method uses an oven. I had many people ask to have a tutorial of how to cook a steak completely stovetop, so here it is!

When cooking a steak stovetop, I always do it this way, one minute per side. Other ways have you only flip a steak once, but by flipping it every minute, you have more even cooking, and it actually cooks faster.

Here I am using a New York strip steak, so I cook it one minute per side, do the thinner sides only once, and then go back and forth between the large sides until it is cooked through.

Ingredients:

• 1 thicker cut steak like New York strip, filet mignon, or ribeye
• salt and pepper
• avocado oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 sprig rosemary
• a couple of sprigs of thyme

Preparation:

STEP 1.

Heavily salt and pepper your steak on all sides.

STEP 2.

In a stainless steel pan over medium high heat, add avocado oil to coat. Once heated, add the steak to the pan and set a timer for one minute. After one minute flip it to the other side and set another one minute time. Keep doing this, and sear the thin sides at least once, then go back to rotating minutes between the large sides. Monitor the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Once the internal temp reaches 100*F-110*F turn the heat to low. Add butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and butter baste it until internal temperature reaches 125-130*F for medium rare.

STEP 3.

Pull the steak off the pan and rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve!
