A » To achieve a perfect sear on a steak, start by patting it dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat until it's smoking hot. Add a high smoke-point oil, like canola or grapeseed. Sear the steak without moving it for 2-3 minutes per side, creating a golden-brown crust. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices.

A »To properly sear a steak, preheat a hot skillet or grill pan, pat the steak dry, and season it. Add oil to the preheated pan, then sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side. Don't overcrowd the pan, and don't move the steak until it's time to flip. This will help create a crispy crust on the steak.
