Notes
- Buy a tender, well-marbled piece of meat at least 1 inch thick. A thicker steak like ribeye, porterhouse, or NY strip will yield better results than a thinner one.
- Add a little butter or olive oil on top to help the meat brown.
- Verify the internal temperature with a meat thermometer, don't just rely on cooking time.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before serving. This makes it juicier and lets it finish cooking.
