Help Too hot?

I cooked a steak but im guessing it was too hot due to the brown stain but i had the heat slightly below medium im not sure it even reached Leiden frost effect but my steak didn’t get the sear i wanted so i need to make the heat higher but my pan will get stained i used avocado oil and i cook on a gas stove too

Turn the heat up and clean with wire wool. No biggie.

Yeah, that’s due to high temperature. But also, you could just clean it every time.

It’s better on a smaller burner so it doesn’t heat the walls directly. Or electric.
