You really don't need a recipe for how simple this is, but it's an easy guide to pan-searing steaks. They turned out perfect. For 5 ounce size steaks (which are quite small), the cooking time will leave them about medium. You can use whatever size steaks you like, just adjust the time for your desired doneness.
