Ingredients

1 beef sirloin steak, at room temperature
salt to taste
3 tablespoons high-heat cooking oil, or as needed

Instructions

Preheat your heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry on both sides using paper towels. Season generously with salt on each side for enhanced flavor.
Drizzle oil into the preheated skillet. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Flip the steak and cook for another 30 seconds, then flip again. Continue this process, flipping the steak every 30 seconds.
Remove the steak from the skillet once it has formed a rich brown crust, feels firm to the touch, and is slightly pink in the center (approximately 3 to 4 minutes total cooking time for a 1-inch steak). Verify doneness using an instant-read thermometer: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (65°C) for medium, or 160°F (70°C) for well-done.
Wrap the steak in two layers of aluminum foil and let it rest in a warm area for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
