Ok. Here’s what you do.
Go buy a good cut of steak like a T-bone that is approx 1” thick. Salt and pepper it and let it sit out while you prepare.
Chop some garlic and parsley and mix it up with a few tablespoons of butter. I don’t have measurements, You can’t screw this up.
Put a cast iron pan in the oven at 400 for 30 mins, get it really hot
Take it out and put it on the stove on medium
Put oil in the hot pan, like a two tablespoons
Put your steak in and set the timer for 2 mins.
Move quick, Flip to other side, 2 mins,
Flip again and cook 2 mins,
Flip again, cook for 2 mins.
Last flip, only one minute on this side.
This flipping creates the crust on the steak, the inside will still be rare/uncooked. Don’t fear.
Now, Put it on a plate and put your butter mixture on top of the steak and cover it completely with tin foil for 5 mins.
Now, time to savor….take a bite. Restaurant quality, better than restaurant quality. Yum yum yum.
Now take your heart medicine and cholesterol medicine so that you see another day.
