EASY PAN STEAKS

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 8-ounce filet mignon steaks

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450 F. Heat the butter and olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the sprigs of rosemary as your pan is heating. Salt and pepper the meat to your liking (I recommend a generous pinch of each, which is a THREE-finger pinch.)
  • When the butter has melted and the oil is heated, add your steaks to the pan to get a nice golden-brown sear on them. This should take about 2 minutes on each side. Then place your pan in the oven until the steaks are cooked to your preference, 7 to 9 minutes. (Eight minutes makes a perfect medium, my favorite!)
  • Allow the meat to rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving. These rosemary-infused steaks are nothing short of delicious.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Steak: Select a steak that is at least 1 inch thick for best results. Look for steaks with good marbling to ensure tenderness and flavor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of steak. You can also add other spices and herbs to your liking.
  • Use High Heat: Pan-searing requires high heat to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Make sure your pan is hot before adding the steak.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing steaks, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will cause the steaks to steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful and less tender steak.
  • Cook to Your Desired Doneness: Depending on your preference, you can cook the steak to your desired doneness. For a rare steak, cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. For a medium-well steak, cook for about 5-6 minutes per side. For a well-done steak, cook for about 6-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the Steak Rest: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.

Conclusion:

Pan-searing steaks is a quick and easy way to cook a delicious and flavorful steak. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pan-seared steaks turn out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pan-searing a try!
