Introduction
Steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in many ways. One of the most popular methods is frying, which gives the steak a crispy, caramelized exterior and a juicy, tender interior. In this article, we'll show you how to fry the perfect steak using a few simple ingredients and techniques.
Ingredients
To make a delicious fried steak, you'll need the following ingredients: - 2 8-ounce ribeye steaks - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 tablespoon butter - Salt and pepper to taste - Garlic powder (optional) - Thyme (optional)
Instructions
1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. This will help it cook more evenly. 2. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. You can also add garlic powder and thyme for extra flavor. 3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter and swirl to coat the pan. 4. Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the steaks to the pan. They should sizzle immediately. 5. Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare or 5-6 minutes for medium. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the temperature should be 135°F, and for medium, it should be 145°F. 6. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the steak more tender.
