1
Season the Steak
Take the Kansas City Strip Steak and generously season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
2
Preheat the Pan
While the steak is resting, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

3
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the seasoned steak into the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving it, allowing a nice crust to form.
4
Flip and Add Aromatics
Using tongs, flip the steak to the other side. If desired, add the garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, and butter to the pan at this point. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter and juices in the pan.

5
Rest the Steak
Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
6
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve it hot, optionally drizzling some of the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
