Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 1 lb Rib Eye Steak Perfect for pan-searing due to balanced fat content.
  • 1 lb New York Strip Steak A slightly leaner but flavorful option.
For the Seasoning and Flavor
  • 3 cloves Fresh Garlic Enhances aroma and taste.
  • 1 tbsp Sea Salt Adjust according to taste.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Add more for extra kick.
For Basting
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter Elevates richness and helps achieve golden crust.
  • 1 tbsp High Heat Oil Such as avocado oil, for searing.

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Prep the steak by taking it out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Generously season both sides of the steak with sea salt and add black pepper.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat, adding avocado oil. Wait until the oil shimmers, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned steak in the skillet and let it sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Flip the steak after 3-4 minutes and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Baste with garlic and butter mixture.
  6. Remove the steak from skillet and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
  7. Slice against the grain, drizzling with remaining garlic butter, and serve.
