Perfect Steakhouse Steak at Home

1. Start with a great steak. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season liberally with salt.
2. Use a hot skillet with a little oil.
3. Sear Side 1 until you get a great crust, then flip the steak.
4. Add butter, and rosemary or thyme to the pan. A garlic clove is optional.
5. As soon as the butter is melted, continuously spoon the butter over the steak until it’s cooked to your liking.
6. The steak will continue to cook off the heat, so remove it from the pan at the desired temperature. A meat thermometer is helpful: Rare: 117°F, Medium rare: 126°F, Medium: 135°F.
