Rest it before you cut it. Please.

That was somebody else’s answer. Yours takes about twenty seconds: a handful of either-ors, then one dish.

How to make steak

One way to do it. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Thick cut, rested

20 minutes · serves 2 · Medium

What you need

  • 2 thick sirloin or ribeye steaks
  • Neutral oil
  • Butter
  • Garlic clove
  • Thyme
  • Flaky salt

What you do

  1. 1Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes ahead and dry the surface thoroughly.
  2. 2Salt generously. Get the pan hotter than feels reasonable.
  3. 3Sear without moving for 2–3 minutes a side, turning once.
  4. 4Add butter, garlic and thyme, tilt the pan and spoon it over for a minute.
  5. 5Rest on a warm plate for as long as you cooked it. Cutting early loses everything.
