4 minutes of high heat on one side in a buttered skillet, sea salt and pepper, 3 minutes on the other. In the oven for however long it takes scramble some eggs, to clean the stove top, do dishes and pour a red.
Shytty preparation
1. 4 min on each side??? Too long... especially if you’re working with a thin steak. A 1.5-2 really only needs 2 minutes MAX per side
2. That butter will burn on high heat the moment you put it in the pan... use clarified butter or ghee if you want to oil the pan with butter...
3. If you season with salt AFTER the steak is in the pan the salt will not penetrate the steak... season with salt and pepper and let the steak sit and come to room temp an HOUR before it hits the pan, and pat the moisture off the steak to ensure a crust when you sear the steak... seasoning with salt beforehand draws out the moisture... excess moisture gives you a steak without a crust...
4. If you put that steak in the oven after the way you cook it, it will be done way too much... after the steak has been seared on both sides, and has been basted with fresh butter (put in after both sides are seared and the temp turned halfway) take the steak out of the pan and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes... after 5 minutes THEN you can cut into the steak...
