Pan-broiled Steak

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a clean skillet until it is very hot.

  2. Rub the skillet with a small amount of suet to prevent sticking.

  3. Place the steak in the skillet and press it down.

  4. Sear one side quickly, then turn the steak without cutting into it.

  5. Sear the other side, keeping the skillet hot but not scorched.

  6. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, turning frequently to retain juices.

  7. Do not add salt until the steak is fully cooked.

  8. Serve on hot plates.
