how long to cook flank steak in cast iron pan
Drizzle vegetable oil into an aluminum or cast-iron pan, and heat the pan on the stove until the oil just begins to smoke. Add your flank steak to the pan. Cook one steak at a time. Sear each side of the flank steak for 2 to 4 minutes. Use fork or tongs to turn the flank steak once. Test the flank steak with a meat thermometer for at least an internal temperature of 145 F right before you anticipate the cooking time for your steaks to end.
