How to cook a beef steak?

There are many ways to cook beef steak, but here is a simple recipe that you can try:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound beef steak (such as ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Olive oil or butter
  • Optional: garlic, rosemary, thyme, or other seasonings of your choice

Instructions:

  1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking. This allows the steak to cook more evenly.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  3. Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet (such as cast iron) over high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the pan and let it melt or heat up.
  5. Once the pan is hot, carefully add the steak to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a crust forms and the steak is browned.
  6. If desired, add garlic, rosemary, thyme, or other seasonings to the pan. Spoon the melted butter or oil over the steak as it cooks.
  7. Once the steak is browned on both sides, transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
  8. Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender steak.

Enjoy your delicious and juicy beef steak!
