For the first 2 minutes, sear one flat side of the steak. For the next 2 minutes, sear the other flat side. Then, turn the steak onto its side and sear the edges, rotating every 2 minutes until the steak is cooked. Cooked this way, a 2-inch-thick, 8-ounce filet mignon will reach 120Â°F in about 8 minutes.
Sear untouched for at least 3 minutes, up to 6 minutes for a 2-inch thick steak. 4 Flip the steaks and cook for another 2-5 minutes, depending on how thick the steak is and how rare or well done you like your meat.You can use the finger test to test the doneness of your steak. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a cast iron pan on high heat for 1 minute. Swirl to coat the pan. Put the steaks in the hot pan and immediately turn the heat down to medium to medium high (depending on your stovetop, medium on a high BTU gas range is about medium high on most electric ranges).
