The process of cooking steak is similar to chicken and pork chops. Your season, sear, then let the meat rest before serving it.

Seasoning is essential because it adds flavor and prevents the meat from tasting like a cardboard box if you don’t add any seasoning (which might happen if you’re not very careful). When seasoning your steak with salt and pepper on both sides—the traditional way—you’ll want to ensure that each piece gets some salt so that when you sear them later on, they’ll be adequately seasoned.
Searing is also essential because it gives your steak its signature browned exterior, making it taste delicious! You can do this by placing a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot; then, slide in one side of each piece of beef until just browned but not burned (about 2 minutes per side). Then remove from heat; let sit for 1 minute before moving on to the next step below.
A good tenderness test is to squeeze the meat gently with two fingers. You want to feel some resistance but not enough to leave indentations in the heart.

The best way to cook sirloin strips is pan-searing them over high heat on both sides until they’re perfectly browned and cooked through, but not quite as rare as medium-rare. You can also grill or broil them until they’re seared on both sides—but since sirloin isn’t a lean cut like strip loin, it will take longer for juices inside it when grilled than when pan-seared!
Cooking times depend on the thickness and only sometimes include resting time.
Here’s a rule of thumb: thicker steaks cook faster than thinner ones. Thinner cuts are more likely to overcook and undercook, so you’ll want to avoid caution when cooking them.
Cooking times might be too long if you’re cooking thin cuts, such as a strip steak.
Cooking times might be too long if you’re cooking thin cuts, such as a strip steak. If your steak is thicker than 1/4 inch and over 3/8 inch thick, cook it to an internal temperature of 145°F (62°C). The same goes for any steak less than 1/8 inch thick and less than 2 inches wide.
If your cut of meat is between these measurements, follow the guidelines below:
To make a perfect medium rare, you should cook steak for about four minutes per side for rare and six minutes for medium rare.

If you’re cooking a thin cut like a strip steak, let it sit at room temperature before serving so that the meat can soak up more flavor from the pan juices while still retaining some moisture.
For more than one person, use a larger pan so everyone can have their steaks simultaneously.

The size of your pan is important because it will determine how much room there is for your steaks and how easy it will be to cook them evenly. A smaller pan will leave less room for each steak, which means you’ll have to flip them more often if they’re not cooked all over by the time they’re done cooking on one side (which can happen if there needs to be more space). This can cause uneven browning or even burning—not good!
A large skillet or Dutch oven with an oven-safe handle makes perfect sense here; these are typically more profound than most other pots/pans out there, so there’s plenty of room in which all your meat products can sit comfortably without crowding each other out on top (or bottom). Plus: no need for separate plates!
For thicker cuts of steak like ribeye or New York strip, cooking time may be less critical since you can cook them longer without shrinking them too much.
For thicker cuts of steak like ribeye or New York strip, cooking time may be less critical since you can cook them longer without shrinking them too much. However, if you’re cooking a thinner cut like filet mignon or sirloin tip roast, it’s essential to keep an eye on the temperature so it doesn’t overcook (it will dry out).
Thinner cuts should be cooked to a higher temperature than thicker ones. This is because thin steaks have more surface area exposed to the heat source; therefore, they take longer to cook through at lower temperatures than thick steaks do at higher temperatures.
A steak that’s cooked properly doesn’t need to be expensive.
You can cook a NY strip steak at home.
You can also buy it at the grocery store, butcher shop, and meat market.
And if you want to get fancy with your cooking skills, you could always make your steak.
