How to Cook the Perfect Steak?

Ingredients:

• Your choice of steak (Ribeye, T-Bone, Sirloin, or Filet Mignon)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp of butter
• Fresh herbs (such as rosemary and thyme, optional)
• Garlic cloves (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Bring your steak to room temperature. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until extremely hot, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Sear the Steak: Place the steak in the hot skillet. Add butter, herbs, and garlic cloves, if using. Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. Adjust time for your desired doneness.
4. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
5. Serve: Slice against the grain and serve immediately.
