Pan-Broiled Steak

Trim fat from steak, also part of bone, if desired. Wipe with damp cloth. Heat frying pan till very hot, or until blue smoke arises. Rub surface of pan with little fat. Place steak in pan, searing it quickly, first one side, then on the other and turning every 10 seconds. After both sides are seared, reduce heat under the pan and cook steak more slowly. Stand on edge to brown fat. Keep pan free from fat. Steak is done rare, when well browned and puffy. If one inch thick this will take about 8 minutes. If desired well done, it will require 12 to 15 minutes or more.
