T-Bone Steak for Two
Description
The method involves bringing the steak to room temperature, then seasoning it heavily with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. It is seared in a hot cast iron skillet with olive oil and butter, along with fresh thyme sprigs and whole garlic cloves to infuse aroma. The steak is cooked for 4-5 minutes per side, with frequent basting from the melted butter for a flavorful crust. The sides of the steak are also seared to ensure even cooking.
After resting, the pan is reheated to brown thinly sliced garlic with fresh rosemary in butter, which is then poured over the steak before serving. Parsley sprinkled on top adds a fresh element. This preparation highlights the rich flavor and texture of the T-bone cut while adding fragrant herbal butter richness.
The dish suits an elegant two-person meal and pairs well with simple sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Leftover steak can be repurposed with eggs for breakfast the next day.
