For optimal results, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. The high heat retention ensures a beautiful sear. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook one steak at a time if necessary to maintain high heat. The resting period is crucial! It allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your steaks and your desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
