Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the Delmonico steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-duty pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.

  2. 4

    Flip and Baste

    Flip the steak and add garlic cloves, rosemary, and butter to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  3. 5

    Check Temperature

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Resting

  1. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
