Hey /ck/, I'm gonna be making steak for the first time tomorrow. Any tips on how to make the perfect steak?
Make sure it's near room temperature before you start to cook it. Cook on high heat, only move it when you're ready to flip.
Put it in frozen and dry, flip frequently

30min-1 hour before you plan to start cooking it, take it from the fridge and salt and pepper the fuck out of each side, let it sit
Put a few tablespoons of oil (I use vegetable, but /ck/ and chefs recoomend olive and peanut) in the pan and put it on about 85% heat. Let pan warm for 5 min
Place steak in pan and let it cook for 5 min on one side. Turn over and let cook for 4 min on other side.
remove from pan and place on aluminum foil
Rub 1tb of butter over steak.
Wrap in aluminum foil and let sit for 10 min.
Serve

cast iron panon stove at medium heat and let pan heat up for 5-10 minutes.
place steak in pan for three minutes
flip
add 1/4 cup of butter to pan allow to melt and baste with butter for three minutes
near perfect blue to rare strip.

9 minutes is a long time! Also totally depends on how thick the steak is...
But in general I agree!
Practice makes perfect.

Well, if you're gonna make it instead of cooking it, you'd start with one of these.

I'm not saying the video was good, but he covers everything you need to do in a way that will keep the attention of the average four year old or 4chan user.
