Even without a grill, you can cook a juicy and delicious steak if you remember a few simple rules.
Ingredients:
- Meat (beef, pieces 3–5 cm thick)
- Salt, pepper, and spices
- Oil (sunflower or olive)
Cooking Secrets:
1. Thawing the Meat
Never thaw a steak in the microwave — the edges will start to cook, while the center remains frozen. The best way is to leave the meat in vacuum packaging in cold water.
2. Preparation
First, sprinkle the meat with spices and pepper all around, then with salt. Rub oil on all sides — this will help the heat pass evenly through the steak. Do not pound the meat, or it will lose its juices and texture.
3. Cooking
Heat the pan without oil over high heat. Sear the steak on one side for 2.5 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side. Do the same again to achieve the perfect crust and keep the juiciness inside. Adjust the doneness to your taste.
