Pan Fried Steak

Just when you thought there was no new way to fix steak...Here I come with one...


Ingredients

2 strip steaks (each about 1 inch thick), room temperature

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 teaspoon unsalted butter Simple Steak Sauce, optional .

  Directions 1. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes.
Generously season steaks with salt and pepper.

 Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak.

Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak.

Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare

. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.

Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.

2. Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat.

Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper.

Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak.

Repeat with the remaining steak.

Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare.

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.


ENJOY!!! EAT WELL MY FRIENDS!
