Fried Steak
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 17 minutes
Ingredients
- 1.5 inch ribeye or striploin
- Salt
- 2 tbsps of tallow
- Cast iron pan (or other pan)
- Meat thermometer (optional)
Instructions
- Put a cast iron pan (or stainless steel) on a burner.
- Turn the heat up to medium high.
- Put a few tablespoons of tallow in the pan.
- Wait a few minutes for the pan to heat up. You know it’s hot enough when a drop of water sizzles when it hits the pan.
- Put your steak in the pan. It should sizzle. If it doesn’t, the pan isn’t hot enough.
- Let the steak sit and wait for the juices to slightly rise to the top of the meat (about 6 minutes).
- Once the juices rise to the top, flip the steak.
- You can baste the meat in tallow while you’re cooking too.
- Once the juice rises to the top again (another approximate 6 minutes) - eat it.
- You can also use a steak thermometer to measure internal temperature. The ideal temperature for medium rare is around 135°.
