Recently, I decided to try my hand at pan-fried steak and after two attempts, I believe I have found a solid recipe.
Take a pan large enough for your steak and put some cooking oil in there, enough that you won't have to add more later, but nowhere near enough to submerge the steak. While that heats to around med-high heat, salt and pepper your steak. Once the oil is hot, lay the steak in there and sear both sides to a nice brown. Cook, flipping occasionally, to desired done-ness. Remove the steak from the pan (I put it on a plate and stash it in the microwave to keep it from cooling too much.) and scrape up the bottom of the pan. You should have some used oil and steak leavings floating around at this point. Reduce the heat a bit and add a can of PBR, along with your favorite seasonings. The beer will foam up pretty good in the pan, stir it around until it calms a bit. I use garlic powder, minced garlic, pepper, and some oregano. Be careful if you add salt, it it real easy to oversalt the sauce, unless you like that sort of thing. Stir this around, adjusting the heat up or down as needed until it reduces down to your chosen consistency, I like an italian dressing-like thickness to it. After that, bring your steak back out, serve on a plate and ladle some of your sauce on there.
