📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pull that steak out of the refrigerator about ⏱️ 30 minutes before you plan to cook it. I know, I know, waiting is hard. But trust me on this one! Letting it come to room temperature helps it cook evenly all the way through. While you are waiting, mix together the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl and set aside.
teaspoon garlic powder1/2garlic (smashed)2 cloves
2
Pat the steak completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with the spice mix and press it in with your hands.
3
Heat your cast iron skillet over high heat until it's good and hot. Once it's hot, add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
4
Carefully lay the steak in the skillet and step back. It's going to sizzle like crazy and that is exactly what we want! Leave it completely alone for ⏱️ 3 minutes until a deep, gorgeous brown crust forms on the bottom. Flip it once and sear the other side for another ⏱️ 2 minutes.
5
Reduce the heat to medium low and add the butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary. Once that butter melts and starts to foam, use a hot pad and tilt the pan slightly and spoon the butter continuously over the top of the steak for about 1–⏱️ 2 minutes. This is called basting, and oh my goodness — this is what gives it that rich, restaurant-quality finish that makes everyone at the table ask what you did differently!
