1 How long this takes depends on how thick the steak is and how well you want it to be done. 2  A one-inch (2.5-centimeter) thick steak will take about four minutes for rare steak and about 10 minutes for a well-done steak. 3  Half way through the cooking time, turn the steak over in the pan [source: Delia Smith ].
3. Place the steaks in the center of the pan. Let them cook on one side for 15 seconds, then turn them to the other side using a pair of tongs. They should form a thick, crunchy crust on both sides.1  Don't turn the steaks until they've seared; moving them too soon will prevent the crust from forming.ontinue turning the steaks every thirty seconds until they are cooked. 1  For rare steaks, cook for a total of 1 1/2 minutes on each side. 2  For medium rare steaks, cook for a total of 2 minutes on each side. 3  For medium well steaks, cook for a total of 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
