How do you use a flank?

Use thinly sliced grilled or broiled flank steak in fresh spring rolls instead of shrimp. Combine with cucumber, carrots and thin strips of red pepper. Serve with a spicy peanut dipping sauce. Make a chunky puttanesca (or buy jarred) and serve it hot over freshly grilled or broiled flank steak.

How do you fry steak without smoking it?

Just get it hot enough that it barely begins to smoke and add the steak. That will lower the heat a bit, but you'll still be well within searing temperatures. Around 450F is fine for searing, and avocado oil can handle that if it's refined. You don't need to smoke up your place just to sear a steak.

How do I pan fry steak without smoking it?

Remove your preheated pan from the oven and immediately drop your steak on it. Turn the heat on your burner to medium or medium-high as the pan begins to cool to maintain the temperature of the pan. The result will be a nice even sear with as little smoke as possible.

How do I cook a steak without smoking it?

The less oil you have hanging out in your super hot pan, the less smoke there will be. Just salt your steak as you usually would, and blot off any excess moisture. Heat your pan over high heat, until a drop of water balls up and skitters around the its surface before evaporating.

Why does my cast iron pan smoke?

One of the most common causes of cast iron pans smoking is due to heat. When cast iron pans get too hot, they start smoking, especially if there is oil in them. Cast iron pans take longer to heat up, but get hotter at a lower stove temperature than other types of metal.
