How to perfectly cook steak every time 🥩

As a bodybuilder who eats a lot of protein, I’ve had my fair share of overcooked steaks... Until I stumbled across COLD SEARING. 

This fool proof technique is great because:
👉🏼 You don’t need oil (no added calories) 
👉🏼 You only need a non-stick pan (no need for an oven) 
👉🏼 Evenly cooks the steak from edge to edge
👉🏼 Easy clean up as oil and fat doesn’t splat as much
👉🏼 You can move the steak around (great for people who don’t like sitting still)

I would recommend at least a 1.5 inch steak. You can use a thinner steak and cook it for shorter, but it’s not that great. Cooking times will vary but I’d use the below times as a baseline, and then it’s very easy to adjust up and down by a minute each side after you know your kitchen settings🙂 

Preparation: 
Make sure steak is room temp. 
Pat steak dry.
Place on non-stick pan.

For thicker steak (~1.5 inch): 

TURN ON HEAT TO HIGH 
1. 2 minutes → Flip 
2. 2 minutes → Flip

LOW HEAT 
3. 2 minutes → Flip 
4. 2 minutes → Flip 
5. 2 minutes → Flip 
6. 2 minutes → Flip 
7. 2 minute → Flip 
8. 2 Minute → Take off heat and rest for 5-6 minutes before cutting.
