3. Sear the Steaks

1. Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron is best) over high heat.

3. When the pan is very hot, add the steaks.
4. Sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
   • Adjust time depending on thickness.

4. Butter Baste (The Best Part!)

Once you flip the steaks:

1. Add the garlic butter to the pan.
2. Tilt the pan slightly.
3. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks repeatedly for 1–2 minutes.

This gives the meat a rich, glossy, buttery finish.

5. Rest the Meat

Let the steaks rest 5 minutes before slicing so the juices stay inside.
