Simple Seared Steaks
4 servings
20 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb boneless grilling steaks (such as ribeye, New York strip, or top sirloin)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons steak seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps

    1. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Cut steaks into 4 portions; coat both sides with steak seasoning and fennel seeds (wash hands).
    2. Place oil in pan, then add steaks; cook 3–4 minutes on each side until steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Remove steaks from pan and let stand 5–10 minutes before serving; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time. Serve.

The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.

Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with soap and water after any contact with raw meat, seafood, or eggs.
Do not reuse marinades.
Do not rinse raw meat.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
