Directions

  1. 1Dry the surface of the steak by pressing, not wiping, to prevent steaming and allow for a crust to form.
  2. 2Salt both sides of the steak evenly to ensure flavor gets inside.
  3. 3Get the pan really hot; the oil should shimmer fast for searing, not slow boiling.
  4. 4Place the steak in the hot pan and do not poke, drag, or panic flip it; let the crust glue itself on.
  5. 5Cook the steak to your desired doneness, but be aware that past medium, it may become rubbery.
  6. 6Rest the steak for two minutes before slicing to keep it tender and flavorful.
  7. 7Slice the steak, add butter and flaky salt.
  8. 8Pair the steak with potatoes and something green.
