Tips and Conclusion

High Heat for a Great Sear: Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the steaks to get a good sear and develop a flavorful crust.

Use a Meat Thermometer: To achieve the perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer rather than guessing. This ensures the steak is cooked to your liking every time.

Resting is Key: Don’t skip the resting step, as it helps the steak retain its juices, making it more tender and flavorful.
