How to Make a Tender Breakfast Steak in a Frying Pan
- 1). Preheat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the air over it shimmers and is uncomfortably hot for your bare hand.
- 2). Pat dry the surface of your breakfast steak with a paper towel. Moisture will prevent the steak from browning properly.
- 3). Carefully place the steak in the hot pan. It should sizzle loudly. If it doesn't, the pan is not hot enough, so remove the steak and wait a bit longer.
- 4). Sear the steak on its first side for one to two minutes, depending on thickness, until cooking juices begin to seep through the pores on the upper side.
- 5). Turn the steak and finish it by cooking to the desired doneness, usually one to two minutes. Season the steak with salt and pepper when it's turned.
- 6). Serve hot, with a pat of butter if desired and a choice of steak sauce, Tabasco or Worcestershire sauce.
