Cook's Notes

This technique creates a great mouth-watering charred steak using a very hot skillet while emitting a great deal of smoke. Be prepared with pot holders and proper ventilation. This recipe can easily be multiplied for families and entertaining by doubling the recipe for every 1 pound steak.
