## Ingredients

- Steak
- Salt
- Oil
- Butter
- Flaky salt
- Potatoes
- Something green

## Instructions

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