  • Place a griddle pan or skillet over medium heat, or an outdoor grill over direct medium-high heat (350°F-400°F). When hot, carefully add the marinated steaks. Cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes for a pink middle.

Notes

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge and place them in a bowl at least half an hour before you plan to cook them. This allows time for the marinade to soak in and for the steaks to come up to room temperature.
  • Don't move the steaks or flip them during the 4 minutes on each side cooking time. If they begin to smoke a lot, reduce the heat slightly.
  • It is very important to let your steaks rest after pan frying. Keep them loosely wrapped in foil for the 8 minutes of resting time. This will keep them hot but allow them to rest as necessary.
