Home-Cooked Steak

[Serene]

Having a romantic dinner at home? try this!

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless steaks (such as ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip), about 1 inch thick
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides of each steak generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
4. Once the pan is hot, carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Cook without moving them for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
5. Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness: 2-3 minutes for rare, 4-5 minutes for medium, and 5-6 minutes for well-done.
6. If using minced garlic, add it to the pan along with the butter during the last minute of cooking. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and garlic.
7. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a plate and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy steak.
8. Optional: Garnish the steaks with fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, before serving.
9. Serve the steaks hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.

Enjoy your delicious homecooked steak!
