Worked fine! The steaks were good 400 gram one inchers. I took them out of the fridge two hours early, removed them from the plastic after one hour, then kept them placed each steak on two sheets of Japanese kitchen paper, covered with the same, then all covered with a towel, so they warmed up slowly.
I used Trader Joe’s “Everyday Seasoning” and olive oil... rubbed the seasoning first, then the oil.
Fry pan hot like discussed, until water flashes away when sprinkled... three minutes on each side and then into the toaster oven to settle.
The last part, I won’t do again. The steaks cooled a bit too much.
But they were awesome. Best steak I ever cooked! Now that I know how, I’ll do even better.
Awesome! Thanks for the follow-up...yep, no question: the best way to do a steak.
