Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to get very hot.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the seasoned steak to the hot pan. Sear without moving for 4-5 minutes to develop a nice crust.

  3. 5

    Flip and Add Butter

    Flip the steak using tongs. Add butter and herbs to the pan. Allow the steak to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting with the melted butter.

  4. 6

    Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should be 130-135°F (54-57°C).

  5. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
