Beef steak fried in a pan
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Pan-fried beef steak is quite simple to prepare. The principle is similar to cooking a steak, but there are a few specifics. First, the meat! Choose the freshest meat possible, preferably so-called "steak-grade" beef. However, if you trust your butcher, beef tenderloin will also work well. Second, a cast-iron skillet is best for cooking steak (it retains heat effectively). If you don't have one, you can fry the meat in a regular pan, then keep it over the lowest heat for 7 minutes. The final step in preparing the steak is using foil, which helps retain and reflect heat, ensuring the beef steak is cooked thoroughly. Good luck, and serve hot.

Step 4
For steak, it's best to use a cast-iron skillet, but if you don't have one, use a grill pan or a heavy-bottomed skillet. Pour in the oil and heat over the highest heat. Place the meat in the pan and sear for about 3–4 minutes.

Then we flip the meat and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes. Next, wrap the meat in foil and let it rest for about 7 more minutes.
