Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the 14 oz choice cut steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.

  3. 5

    Flip the Steak

    Using tongs, flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time for your desired doneness.

  4. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, add 2 tablespoons of butter and fresh herbs to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Baste the steak with the melted butter.

  5. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
