Notes
- My Denver steak was about 1 inch thick.
- Allow oil to get hot before carefully placing steak in skillet.
- See table above for how long to cook for different levels of doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure doneness.
- Allow steak to cool on plate for 5 minutes before slicing into. This helps lock in the juices.
- The garlic herb butter is optional but highly delicious!
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
