Cold-Seared Strip Steak (No Oil)
A quick, mess‑free method for perfectly cooked strip steaks with a deep, flavorful crust. The steak is seasoned only with pepper, seared in a hot non‑stick skillet without oil, then finished on medium heat while flipping every two minutes until the interior reaches a perfect medium‑rare 125°F. Rest briefly, finish with flaky coarse salt, and serve.
