Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless steaks about 4 steaks
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven-safe cast iron skillet (or other oven-friendly pan) over medium-high to high heat. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Blot steaks with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Salt and pepper both sides of the steak.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter into hot pan and immediately place steaks in to sear. Cook the meat 3-4 minutes on the first side without touching it or moving it around.
- Flip your steaks over, top each steak with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and transfer to the hot oven for up to 5 minutes, keeping them in the same skillet.
- Once desired temperature has been achieved, remove the steaks from the oven and transfer them to a plate. Cover with foil and rest for 5 more minutes.
- Finally, take the foil off and thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve warm.
