Pan Seared T-bone Steak

As I have mentioned before Bermuda is expensive. You might have even seen it on one of those most expensive places to live lists. And good quality beef is expensive, so I do not buy it often. I actually don’t even bother to look at beef prices, after all, red meat is not good for you!

On the rare occasion that I do, I do not want to mess it up. So I do not do a lot to the meat. I season with salt and pepper and I will either grill it or pan sear the meat.

To get a perfectly seared steak you need to bring your meat to room temperature, about thirty minutes then I season it with salt and pepper on both sides.

Then sear the meat in a hot iron skillet or whatever skillet you have. Do not poke the meat. Flip it once and make sure it rests before cutting into it.
