One Flip Rule: For the best crust and flavor, flip your steak only once during cooking to avoid losing juices.
Thickness Matters: Thicker cuts may need flipping more than once to ensure even cooking throughout.
Avoid Overhandling: Constantly flipping can cause the steak to lose its natural juices and result in uneven cooking.
Searing Perfection: Let each side of the steak sear properly before flipping, usually 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Resting Time: After flipping, ensure you allow enough time on each side to build a flavorful crust and achieve your desired doneness.
Using Tongs: Flip with tongs to avoid piercing the steak, which could release valuable juices.
Cooking Method: For thicker steaks, consider finishing them in the oven after flipping to ensure even cooking without overcooking the exterior.
Check for Doneness: Instead of frequent flipping, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature and avoid overcooking.
