How do you cook beef steak so it's tender?

 Here is a simple recipe for pan-seared beef steak that you can make at home:

Ingredients:

1 pound beef steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Take the beef steak out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. This will help it cook more evenly.

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan (such as a cast iron skillet) over high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl it around the pan to coat.

Pat the beef steak dry with a paper towel, and then season it with salt and pepper on both sides.

Place the steak in the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak more well-done.

Once the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove it from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute and make the steak more tender.

Slice the steak against the grain (which means slicing at a diagonal angle across the fibers of the meat) and serve immediately. You can serve the steak with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
