the steak reaches the desired internal temperature.
NOTES:
After searing, your steak could possibly already be at the desired temperature, depending on size,
cut and desired doneness.
For thinner steaks it may not be possible to achieve a Rareor Medium Rare doneness.
By first seanng your meat with a very high heat,you are creating a browning reaction known as the Maillard Reaction.
Thisreaction unlocks the fuller, more intense flavor from the meat, which occurs when cooking meat at a high heat.
