Cook the Steak: Pat steak dry and season with kosher salt. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2 minutes per side, remove and let rest for 4 minutes. Repeat until the steak reaches 130°F internal temperature for medium-rare. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. You'll know it's ready to flip once it releases from the pan. It sticks because the
crust is still forming, so don't nudge it around if it's not releasing. The protein will almost always tell you when it's ready. The
multi-sear and rest method builds crust slowly while keeping the inside perfectly even, with no grey band and no overcooked edge.
