Your plate looks good but (you know there's always going to be a
"but..." here. hheheh
Why fry in "a good amount of oil?" I get a dry pan screaming hot,
sear on each side for 1-2 minutes, then turn down to medium for a
minute or two on each side. Perfect medium rare every time.

While it's resting, I'll deglaze the pan with some onions and
mushrooms, TBS or so butter, then a little water and a nip of
Merlot. Stir and simmer until reduced a bit.

Anyway, I never pan fry a steak using oil. It's just me but it's
not necessary.
