Steak Using the Fast-Flip Method Recipe

Steak Using the Fast-Flip Method Recipe

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 beef sirloin steak, at room temperature
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 tablespoons high-heat cooking oil (or as needed)

Directions:

  1. Preheat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels on both sides to remove excess moisture.
  3. Generously season the steak with salt on both sides for enhanced flavor.
  4. Drizzle the hot skillet with oil, ensuring the surface is well-coated.
  5. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Flip the steak and cook for another 30 seconds, then flip again.
  6. Continue flipping the steak every 30 seconds until it develops a nice brown crust on all sides. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes for a 1-inch steak.
  7. Check the steak's doneness using an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center. Aim for the following internal temperatures for the desired doneness:
    • 125F (52C) for rare
    • 130F (54C) for medium-rare
    • 145F (65C) for medium
    • 160F (70C) for well-done
  8. Once the steak reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the skillet.
  9. Cover the steak with 2 layers of aluminum foil and allow it to rest in a warm area for 5 minutes to retain juices.

This cooking method was ideal for me since I prefer not to use the broiler. I followed the instructions carefully and, after approximately 4 1/2 minutes, the 1-inch thick steak reached 170 degrees. After resting for 4 minutes, I achieved a perfectly cooked medium rare steak, which is my preferred doneness. While you may need to adjust the timing to suit your preferences, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try.
