Ingredients:
| 2 | strip beef steaks (about 1 inch thick) |
| coarse salt | |
| freshly ground black pepper | |
| 1 to 2 teaspoon | unsalted butter |
Directions:
Bring the steaks to room temperature.
Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak. Repeat with the remaining steak. Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.
