Ingredients
- steak - watch the video to see
- kosher salt - watch the video to see (enough to lightly cover both sides of the steak)
- avocado oil - watch the video to see (high smoke point, for searing)
- black pepper - watch the video to see (crushed, to taste)
- butter - watch the video to see (for finishing)
- fresh thyme - watch the video to see (optional, for garnish)
- garlic - watch the video to see (optional, for flavor)
- shallots - watch the video to see (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
- Preparation: Salt the steak at least 45 minutes before cooking, or even one to two days in advance for better flavor and moisture control.
- Preheat Pan and Oil: Heat a cast iron pan on high and add avocado oil, heating it to about 400°F.
- Sear the Steak: Place the steak in the hot pan, searing it without moving for a good crust formation. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Finish Cooking in Oven: If the steak is thick, finish cooking in the oven at a moderate temperature to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the inside is cooked to your liking.
- Rest the Steak: Let the steak rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
