Meat's always welcome here. :D

Tips:
-Use a heavier pan if you've got it.
-Always use the highest heat on your stove for steak. The doneness is controlled via the cooking time, not the pan temperature.
-Heat it up considerably longer. The oil should be smoking (but not too much, see next tip).
-Don't use olive oil. If you follow the last two tips, the oil will burn.
-You don't need to swirl the pan around. The oil will spread by itself when it's hot enough.
-Adding (preferably freshly ground) black pepper before cooking is highly recommended.
-There's no real need to salt the oil. When and how to add salt is somewhat arguable (lots of different opinions), but for steaks that size I recommend salting the steak lightly just before cooking, along with peppering it.

I've never cooked steak in a pan before- I usually grill.

Thanks! What I was flicking into the pan wasn't salt, though, it was water. That's how I tell when it is hot enough.

Oh.
That's not particularly recommended for shallow frying because it tends to splatter oil everywhere. Also a single drop of water is enough, you don't want to lower the pan temperature.
I forgot another tip - try and space your steaks further apart. That helps keep the temperature up and the moisture down.

That pizza looks mighty fine indeed! I wish I had the patience to get into bread-making.
I haven't taken pictures of any particularly interesting food lately, so I'll post one from my archive. This is a dish I made with a friend about 6 months ago:

It's fresh homemade pasta with crab and a sauce made from reduced crab stock, garnished with some grilled shrimp and grated botargo for that extra fishy kick.

EDIT: A belated extra steak-cooking tip for Catamari.

This was from a week and a half ago when I made a bunch of sourdough loaves for my friends in Pittsburgh. Having documented the steps with pictures, I can compare when I change things around, like today when we made (the other half) more sourdough crust pan pizza, we took it out of the oven 3 minutes early so the cheese doesn't get too burnt, then finished it off on the stove so the crust is crunchy. Was perfect.

The most important step in the sourdough loaves,

So I was actually doing some cooking more than sticking a ready meal in the oven -- stuffed mushrooms using some lovely chunky mushrooms I got from the local market yesterday.

Image
Image

So the mushrooms have been part-cooked, and I'm sauteing the onion, smoked garlic and peppers, then add the chopped stalks and some bacon -- at which point I have to placate the more important members of the household

Image

Add rice, grated cheese and top with even more cheese

Image

then bake for about 20 minutes and serve accompanied with lightly steamed spinach and a little butter

Image

After which, I get to eat my dinner
