Duck Breast and Seasoning

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck Breast

    Score the skin of the duck breast in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Duck Breast

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Finish Cooking

    Flip the duck breasts and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the duck breast against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
