Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Steak T-Bone
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pat and dry the steak to remove excess moisture, ensuring a better sear. Then, generously season it with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to slightly smoke. An iron skillet works best for this.
  • Carefully add the steaks to the hot skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Flip them every 2 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 135°F (medium rare) or 145°F (medium).
  • Enhance the flavor and moisture by adding 2 tablespoons of butter and two cloves of crushed garlic to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter mixture over each side of the steaks while they cook, resulting in a delicious browned exterior.
  • For a tender and juicy steak, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
