Serves: 1–2 · Prep: 5 min · Cook: 6–10 min
Make It
Remove steak from the fridge 15–20 minutes before cooking.
Pat dry and season generously on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with avocado oil spray or 1 Tbsp avocado oil, olive oil, or butter.
Add steak to the pan and cook 3–5 minutes without moving.
Flip and cook another 2–4 minutes for medium-rare to medium.
Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Eat Shed Glow® encourages leaner cuts of steak, these work very well in a pan: sirloin, flank steak, top round, flat iron. However, thismethod also works well for richer cuts such as ribeye or New York strip if preferred.
Letting steak rest before slicing keeps it juicy and tender.
Leaner steaks cook quickly and should not be overcooked to avoid toughness.
