Sear Steaks Using the Leidenfrost Effect

Ingredients

• steak
• quarter cup water
• quarter to half a cup water for pan sauce
• roasted chicken flavored rice

Instructions

1. Pat the steak dry using a paper towel on both sides.
2. Get a pan on the stove over high heat until it is ripping hot.
3. Drop a little bit of water in the pan to check if it's ready; if it glides across, the pan is hot enough.
4. Drop the steak in the pan and let it cook for a minute or two, depending on the thickness.
5. After about two minutes, flip the steak over.
6. Add a quarter cup of water to the tray and place it in a 400 degree oven for two minutes.
7. Reduce the heat to medium low and add a quarter to a half cup of water to the pan.
8. Scrape up the flavor compounds from the bottom of the pan and let it simmer down until reduced by half.
