  1. There isnt enough fat and marbling in that steak to not use oil/fat in the pan. Non stick has to go. Use a stainless steel skillet or cast iron. Fat will help with the maijard reaction and adds more flavor molecules when you add herbs and aromatics. Salt the steak a day ahead of time on a wire rack uncovered.

  2. You should never be allowed near a steak again. Get a cast iron skillet and get it searing hot. Fresh ground salt and pepper each side. For an inch thick steak, four to four and a half minutes each side. I actually supplement with a torch around the edges, but not really necessary.

  3. Add a half a cup of bacon grease and get the most badass crust known to man. Don't buy into the hype dry frying sucks and sucks big just look at the finished gray product looks like something from McDonalds.

  4. Non stick for a steak? Are you mentally ill? Flipping it over and over is not optimal. You need super high heat that can only be utilized properly in cast iron or carbon steel imo. I mean look at the grey band…

  5. Really not a fan of searing or other high-temp ops in PTFE. There just isn't enough margin of error.

    Cast iron works fine and doesn't stick. Plus the heft of iron is actually a plus, as the thermal mass means the skillet stays hot after you add the steak.
