Cooking steak quickly is a skill that requires attention and practice. To ensure the steak is cooked properly yet remains succulent, it is best to use a large hot frying pan. Heat the pan up on high heat and then add a few tablespoons of oil with some salt and pepper to the pan. Once the pan has heated up properly, place the steak in the middle of the pan and cook for one minute before flipping over and cooking for another minute on the other side. The goal here is to create a nice brown charred crust without overcooking it, so if you want them rare you should reduce the time slightly.

Once both sides are cooked remove from heat and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. This will allow juices to be reabsorbed into the steak making it more tender and juicy as opposed to overly dry. When you do this correctly you’ll have an irresistibly moist steak that still has its succulence retained, rather than becoming tough from overcooking or drying out from lack of moisture from improper resting techniques.

Minute steak is a great choice for busy weeknights, as it cooks up quickly and can be served with a variety of sides.
