How do you cook the inside of steak without burning the outside

I have it on medium..

Its obviously too rare but i stopped cooking cuz the pan was getting that burnt oil color

Turn it down Lower and add a little water to the oil and let the steak simmer while covered. Keep checking that the water or gravy hasn't dried out by adding a little more water.

@pnutbutta no way am i covering it i started a fire last time

The best way to make sure it is cooked inside is to notch your steak on both sides

That's why u have to keep adding water
