How to Cook Tender Juicy Rib Eye Steak Using a Frying Pan

This post is all about cooking tender and juicy steaks without grilling. Instead, we will be using a frying pan to fry the meat. Do you have an idea on how to cook steak using a frying pan? If not, I will guide you by showing how I do it.

I am using rib eye steak for this demonstration.You may also try using other steak cuts if preferred. The outcome of this quick cooking demo is a certified tried and tested rare steak that is so tender (this is not an exaggeration) and juicy. Feel free to use any steak sauce that you like best, or you can even have this without any sauce since it is already tasty.

Salt and pepper gives this steak its basic flavor. The garlic, butter, and dried bay leaves makes it taste even better and pushes it up a level or two higher than a basic steak. You will know what I am talking about once you try it.
