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 ].
The second side will take another five minutes to brown. The steak to the right was 1Â½ inches thick and needed 4 minutes more per side before it was medium rare. So, depending on how thick your steaks are, you may need to cook them longer. Use a digital thermometer to test the internal temperature of the steaks.
