This method results in steak that is well done on the outside but still pink on the inside. Of course timing is everything, but how long you give the steak depends on how thick it is, the pan you use and how hot the pan is.
As a guide for a 2cm thick rib eye steak, with the pan on high heat and the oil smoking, I give oit 2 minutes on the first side followed by 1 minute on the second side which produces a crusty exterior and a rare interior.
Ingredients
