What should you be looking for when choosing the right pan to do the job? The pan should be able to lock in the seasoning flavors that you throw in your steak, and since cooking steaks require high heat, your pan should be able to handle that, which means you have to avoid pans that have artificial nonstick coatings. Your meat can get contaminated if you use artificial nonstick pans, as the high heat can break down the coating.
Another thing to consider is if the pan is oven safe. Depending on the cooking technique or recipe style of how you will cook your steak, you can actually move from skillet to oven or oven to skillet or stovetop. You may want to consider using two pans when cooking from stove to oven since the pan will retain the high heat from cooking on the stove.

With all of that being said, here are the types of pans you can use for cooking steak.

When it comes to high heat or high temperatures, cast iron pans have a big advantage because they are great at retaining heat. Their heat retention capability ensures a steak that’s thoroughly and beautifully browned and caramelized.
Cast iron pans also have a seasoning process or are pre-seasoned, which is another great advantage of this type of pan. It’s an intricate process where cooking oil is applied to the pan and heated up a few times repeatedly. If your pan is already pre-seasoned, you won’t have to go through the entire process.

Whenever you cook fat in the pan, you naturally preserve the seasoning, which builds up great flavors and amazing aromas over time. This helps in adding flavor and in browning the steak for your next cooking. You have the option to take off the default seasoning in a new pan and do your own if you prefer or if the pan has been washed by soap accidentally. You’d have to be an experienced cook to do this, as re-seasoning can get confusing to beginners.
This type of pan also works well with any type of cooktop and stove that you would also consider when choosing what’s best for your kitchen.
The downside of the cast iron pan is that it takes a while for them to heat up, and it’s quite challenging to use them when cooking other recipes that require adjustment with the heat. Other than that, this is a great pan for cooking steak.

A stainless-steel pan is great for creating an evenly cooked steak since it’s a great and even conductor of heat. As opposed to cast iron pans, the tri-ply pans heat up much faster and are easier to clean. A tri-ply pan is a cookware that has aluminum (or sometimes copper) sandwiched in between two layers of stainless steel.
This allows faster conduction of heat because the structure lets the heat freely flow through the whole pan. This is what makes the heating of the whole pan much faster and also allows the atmosphere or condition in the pan to be perfect for the searing of your steak.
The downside of this pan is that it’s nonstick, and there’s no seasoning process, so the cooking of your steak will need appropriate temperature control and a good deal of cooking fat. Aside from that, the try-plan is also a great choice for cooking steak.

This type of pan is a lighter version of cast iron which means that a lot of the benefits of cast iron are also offered by this pan. It comes in various thickness levels, and if you’re primarily using this to cook steak on, the thicker the pan, the better. This is because thicker pans can retain heat much longer than thinner ones. The carbon steel pans also work great for searing your steak.
The only difference between carbon steel pans is that they don’t hold as much heat as cast iron, and they would need to be preheated longer.

Tin is not advisable since it heats up too fast and won’t be great when you’re cooking or searing your steak in high heat. That’s the only thing you need to make sure of, but other than that, copper pans are also great for cooking steak.
