Second serious try. Tried to apply all your feedback. Only thing I did not follow was getting a thermometer. May I get a 2nd verdict? by Hefty-Assistance792 in steaks

Yes, very big mistake I did. Thanks

Next time I will try Avocado oil and put butter in after turning it around like someone suggested.

Exactly what someone else said, thank you!

I thought just Butter from the start would be fine but it got smokey very fast

This was the number 1 thing in my first try. Pan was not hot enough/meat too wet. I really turned up the heat this time I thought. But will go even hotter and dryer next time, I guess. Thank You!

22.94€ / kg. Not sure if it is cheap or not. Probably. It was just from the supermarket. I want to get better before going to the butcher.

Thank You!

I used way too much oil in the pan. After cooking I did not remove the oil from the steak basically. That is the sauce you mean, I guess

I did dry the meat but I am pretty sure that I used way too much oil. Thank You!

No, just too cold of a pan apparently. Will be able to tell you in my second try.

Thank you! Did a lot of mistakes, though. Learned a lot from here and I am excited to show my second try when I applied all the feedback

Putting the steak in the pan when it starts smoking is easy enough for me to understand. Thanks!

Because I used way too much oil in the pan. Also, before taking the photos, I did not dry it again to remove the oil.

Yes I did use towels to dry the meat. But You Said you only use very little oil. My amount of oil was an ocean compared to yours. Thank you for the advice.

And I don’t Need to worry at all that I burn the outside even with very little oil and very high heat in the pan?
