Seared steak is a different way to make steaks but indeed is the best one. As the steak or meat when seared at the dry flour of the pan it is cooked in its moisture and thus a layer is formed on it. We can also call this steak as if it is caramelized. This seared steak goes well with the seared or fried herbs like sage or rosemary along with escarole.

What is seared steak?
Seared steak means the meat is cooked raw in a pan at high heat until it is done or completely browned. In this way, a layer of crust is formed outside while the meat remains juicy and soft from inside.
Which is the better way to sear the steak?
Your steak should be caramelized to a brown color once seared. Reduce oil to the minimum quantity and sear each side without stirring. Once the side is done it will be released from the pan and then you should flip the steak to sear the other side.
