Many of my female friends ask me how to cook steak in an electric skillet or in a plain frying pan if you don’t have anything else. If you are not quite sure about your culinary skills so far as cooking steaks is concerned, you should follow the steps I provide here in this post.
Steak is one of the favorite dishes of most meat lovers. A well-prepared steak has a rich taste, and it looks tender and aromatic with the smell of well cooked beef. Usually steaks for home use are grilled or fried, but this is not always an option. Electric grills or indoor stove-top grill pans can work quite well. But if you have no other choice, a simple electric skillet or even a plain old skillet or a frying pan will also do.
Cooking steak in an electric skillet
First, you will have to preheat the electric skillet to its highest temperature, which is usually 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Dry the steaks with a paper towel. You will have to season lightly with salt and pepper or with other dry spices as desired.
Grease the skillet lightly with oil, unless it is equipped with a non-stick coating. When the skillet has reached its maximum cooking temperature, place the steaks in the pan. They should not be stacked, so cook the steaks in two or more lots if necessary.
Lower the temperature to 425 degrees F as soon as the steaks are browned. Cook until the cooking along the steak edge is half done, then turn. It is better to use tongs, and not a fork, to avoid losing steak juice.
Continue cooking until the desired stickiness is achieved. Take the steaks out of the skillet onto a large plate or a serving dish and cover them with foil to keep them warm. Leave the steaks untouched for at least 5 minutes before serving. Then you can serve them happily to your guests or family members who must have been waiting eagerly for the dish.
