pls, mark b, Melissa, and company:
for all "massive" ingredients, like a steak or big piece of fish, please indicate whether you're starting with them fresh out of refrigerator or whether they've come to room temperature. There's a difference.
I did super hot cast iron with salt on the pan. Not too much salt..
Incredible!!! Used peanut oil. This is my new go-to for a delicious steak on a weeknight. Btw I used a ribeye and it was so so good

If you can, always cook from room temp. It changes the cooking time considerably.
