Ingredients

Directions

  1. Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes early and salt both sides.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
  3. Sear the steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side without moving them.
  4. Lower the heat, add the butter, tilt the pan, and spoon the butter over the steaks for 1 minute.
  5. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Cristina's tip: Aim for 130 F inside for medium rare. Save the pan butter to pour over the top.
