How To Grill The Best Steak Indoors

In just under 10 minutes you can have the juiciest, most flavorful steak, in the comfort of your own kitchen. No need to go outside. Learn how to make the best steak inside! It may just be easier cooking your steaks over the stove like this from now on. Can you make a better steak inside instead of on the backyard grill?

Neew York Times dining reporter Julia Moskin fills in her readers on her tried-and-true method for cooking steak on the stovetop: Forget the talk about dry rubs and marinating, she advises. Buy your meat from a butcher. Choose thinner, boneless cuts — marbled, about 1 inch thick. Keep the meat refrigerated until about a half-hour before you’re ready to cook, then pat it dry with paper towels. Use a cast-iron skillet (unoiled) and turn the heat up “insanely” high. Salt the pan (not the steak) and heat it some more. Lay down your meat, wait about a minute, then flip it every 30 seconds until – 4 or 5 minutes later – you have a perfectly cooked steak. It’ll be crusty on the outside, pink on the inside.
