Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb of steak (filet mignon, sirloin, ribeye, or your preferred cut)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme
- Optional: garlic cloves, smashed
- Optional: chili flakes or smoked paprika for added spice
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure it sears properly. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat the pan: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot, but not smoking.
- Sear the steak: Add the steak to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms. If you’re adding garlic cloves and fresh herbs, toss them into the pan now for extra flavor.
- Rest the steak: Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the steak retain its juices.
- Slice and serve: After the steak has rested, use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of greens.
