How to Pan Sear Steaks: Pat dry - use paper towels to pat the steaks dry to get a perfect sear and reduce oil splatter. Season generously - just before cooking steaks, sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Preheat the pan on medium and brush with oil. Place an OVEN-SAFE, large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat for just a few minutes.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have the best pan seared steak using 4 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make The Best Pan Seared Steak:
  1. Make ready Olive Oil
  2. Prepare Fresh Cracked Pepper
  3. Make ready Sea Salt
  4. Prepare Filet Mignon

Over medium to high heat, melt the butter in an oven proof skillet When the butter is melted and has turned a golden brown, place the steaks into the skillet. A cast-iron pan holds and retains heat especially well, helping to. Now that the steak is dry, start heating up a cast iron skillet over high heat. I find cast iron to be the best for searing steaks because it's naturally nonstick, it retains heat wonderfully, and the material gives a better sear than a stainless steel pan.

Instructions to make The Best Pan Seared Steak:
  1. Apply both sides of the Filet Mignon with generous amounts of salt and pepper. (You cannot have too much because this will create the crust.)
  2. Heat the skillet in high for 2-3 minutes before adding the steak.
  3. Add one tablespoon of olive oil then immediately add steak.
  4. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until it easily pulls off the pan. (This means the steak is properly seared.)
  5. After searing the top and the bottom dear the sides for 2-3 minutes each.
  6. Final product :) this will be a medium rare. If you like a more well done steak stick it in the oven on 500°F for 2-3 minutes.

Now that the steak is dry, start heating up a cast iron skillet over high heat. I find cast iron to be the best for searing steaks because it's naturally nonstick, it retains heat wonderfully, and the material gives a better sear than a stainless steel pan. For indoor cooking we'd recommend frying your steak, although you can grill it if you'd rather. A heavy-duty, thick-based frying pan will achieve the best results, as would a heavy griddle pan or cast iron skillet. These types of pan get really hot and retain their heat, making them ideal for getting that charred, smoky finish on the surface of your steak.
