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:
- Preheat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels on both sides to remove excess moisture.
- Generously season the steak with salt on both sides for enhanced flavor.
- Drizzle the hot skillet with oil, ensuring the surface is well-coated.
- Place the steak in the skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Flip the steak and cook for another 30 seconds, then flip again.
- 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.
- 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
- Once the steak reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the skillet.
- 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.
