SteakRemember, oil the meat not the pan (fnaaarrr). Get the pan as hot as you think it needs to be and then get it hotter than that. A good pan is a prerequisite. When testing for how cooked it is, try this. Touch the meaty muscle at the base of your thumb with the index finger of the same hand, that's what a rare steak should feel like, next finger is med rare etc etc.
The best thing is to let it rest before eating, and please don't do it "well done". Med rare at the most.
YMMV
