What a show off

Ok, so, a few posts ago, I told you about my forays into pan searing a steak. I was just reading through the MSN homepage and one of their feature headlines was about perfectly cooking a steak on your stove. Too late, MSN! I'm scarred for life.

I watched it though, and the guy basically informs the viewer to do everything opposite of what I did. Look...

The dude says that since it's cold he's showing us how to pan sear. That was my thinking, originally. He does say that it needs to be "ripping hot", so I had that right. He also uses only a dollop of oil, explains the benefit of slowing placing it into the pan and away from you to avoid splashes in your direction, and he turns down the heat. That's 3 strikes against my approach to indoor steak cooking. While my way of "deep frying" steak was certainly eventful, I advise you to follow this guy's method instead. Maybe I'll try this again... dun dun dunnnnnnn
