Instructions
- Allow steak to come to room temperature by letting it rest on a plate for 30 minutes (15 minimally).
- Blot the steak dry with a paper towel; salt and pepper liberally on both sides.
- Get a cast iron (or other heavy bottomed) skillet very hot over high heat.
- Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in the pan and add the steak.
- Let it sear on one side without moving it for four minutes. Flip, and sear the other side for four minutes. Sear the sides for a minute or so each.
- At this point, the steak will be medium-rare. If you want it cooked more than that, continue to heat until desired doneness.
- Remove from skillet and let rest for at least ten minutes.
- While steak is resting, melt remaining butter (2 tablespoons) in the skillet over medium heat. The butter will begin to brown after a minute or so, since the skillet is so hot. Add the beef broth (1/2 cup) and stir using a flat spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Slice steak against the grain and drizzle with pan sauce.
