Finish a Delicious Steak with a Perfect Sear

Steps

Cooking a steak is all about balancing a flavorful crust with bringing the center of the meat to the perfect temperature. If your thermometer is telling you you're nearing a medium rare, but the outside hasn't browned enough, employ the blowtorch. Simply turn it to medium high, and hold the flame about 6" away. Keep it moving constantly so you brown, not burn. 

Salt. Pepper. Fire. And suddenly everyone thinks you're a genius.
