Fried Steak

Ingredients

• 1.5 inch ribeye or striploin
• Salt
• 2 tbsps of tallow
• Cast iron pan (or other pan)
• Meat thermometer (optional)

Instructions

1. Put a cast iron pan (or stainless steel) on a burner.
2. Turn the heat up to medium high.
3. Put a few tablespoons of tallow in the pan.
4. 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.
5. Put your steak in the pan. It should sizzle. If it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough.
6. Let the steak sit and wait for the juices to slightly rise to the top of the meat (about 6 minutes).
7. Once the juices rise to the top, flip the steak.
8. You can baste the meat in tallow while you're cooking too.
9. Once the juice rises to the top again (another approximate 6 minutes) - eat it.
10. You can also use a steak thermometer to measure internal temperature. The ideal temperature for medium rare is around 135°F.
