Mexico is a part of North America [1]. What is less obvious is whether Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, etc, would fall into N or S America. Central America is a region, like the Middle East, but is not its own continent. Central America is a part of North America [2]. Nathan made a good point that the United Nations considers Mexico a part of Central America [3]. I wonder why [4].
Sear each side, flipping minimally. It should not take long for a crisp brown crust to form. Depending on the heat of your pan, it should take about 2-4 minutes (or less) for each side to finish cooking. When the first side is done, flip your steak and cook the second side for about as long.
Sear on one side â maybe about 10 minutes, take your tongs, flip and sear the other side the same. What youâre looking for is a bit of the fat to blacken, and a pretty golden brown to your steaks, as pictured. After searing your steaks, they are ready for a layer of your favorite bbq sauce.
