cooking temperature, and personal preference all influence the ideal cooking time.
Instead of relying entirely on a timer, using an instant-read thermometer is a much more reliable way to monitor the internal temperature.
Remember that the steak can continue cooking slightly after being removed from the heat.
Let It Rest
After cooking, resist the temptation to cut into the steak immediately.
Allowing it to rest for several minutes gives the meat time to settle before slicing. This can help keep the steak juicy and make the finished dish more enjoyable.
