Cook the Steaks
  1. Place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
  2. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.

Notes

For best results, allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking and do not skip the resting time after cooking to keep the meat tender.
