Cooking Tips

Pat raw steak dry with paper towels to promote browning.

To add flavor, season steak with a rub just before cooking, or marinate briefly.

Cook over medium heat; high heat chars the outside before the inside is done.

Turn with tongs or spatula; piercing causes loss of flavorful juices.

Remove excess drippings from skillet as they accumulate during cooking.
