How to Make the Best Pan Seared Steak

This pan seared steak tastes like you’re eating at a Five Michelin star restaurant in the comfort of your own home! What’s most surprising is just how easy and simple it is to prepare this delicious, fresh recipe.

To make the best pan seared steak, be sure to select New York Strip steaks that have good marbling. This marbling indicates fat between the muscles, which will provide a boost of flavor.

Okay, so what are the steps to follow after purchasing the steak?

1. Pat the New York Strip dry with a paper towel. This will allow the steak to get a nice crispy sear.
2. Cover the steak with both sea salt and black pepper on both sides, rubbing it in to soak up flavor.
3. Cover the skillet with avocado oil, placing the temperature at medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the steak within the skillet and allow the steak to cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 125° F for a medium rare steak.
4. Remove from heat and place tinfoil over the steak, allowing it to rest for 10 minutes to render a more tender, juicy steak. Enjoy!
