Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

Steak

  • 2 lbs New York Strip Steaks or Ribeye or Top Sirloin Steaks
  • 0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil or any high heat cooking oil
  • 1.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and quartered
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Thoroughly pat steak dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, generously season with 1 ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Heat the cast iron pan until hot then add ½ tablespoon oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Once the oil is very hot, add steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks on the first side for 4 minutes until a brown crust has formed then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on its sides to render the white fat and sear the edges (1-minute per edge).
  • Reduce heat to medium and immediately add 2 tablespoon butter, quartered garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the butter sauce over the steak, tilting the pan to get butter on your spoon. Continue spooning the sauce over the steak for a minute or until the steak is about 5-10 degrees from your desired doneness.
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover and rest 10 minutes before slicing into ½" strips to serve. Spoon extra butter sauce over sliced steak to serve.
