Steps:
- Directions
- Marinate the steaks in olive oil for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the oil - leaving a light film of oil on the steaks - and salt the steaks on both sides. Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over a high setting. When hot add the steaks and char on one side. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking for about 3 minutes for medium rare. Turn the steaks with tongs and turn up the heat to high. Be careful not to cut into the steaks while turning so that you don't lose any of the juices. Sear the second side of the steaks, then turn the heat to medium and cook for another 3 minutes to medium rare. Add 2 to 3 minutes per side for well-done steaks. Serve with a green salad, Aji Asado (roasted marinated peppers), and Papas al Horno (roasted potatoes).
- Variations:
- If using an electric oven broiler, char one side of the steaks on a high broil on a preheated broiler pan with the rack as close as possible to the broiler element. When browned, turn steaks with tongs and brown the other side. Total cooking time with this method is about 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Less time is required for gas broilers and outdoor charcoal barbecues. If using the latter, char meat directly on a rack over very hot coals on the hottest part of the barbecue, then move the meat to a cooler area of the rack over the drip pan leaving the barbecue lid open about one inch. Return the meat to the hotter area to char the second side and then move it back over the drip pan.

Steps:
- Start by removing the steak from the packaging and patting it dry with a paper towel. This step is important because if there is moisture on the steak it will create steam, and you don't want to steam your steak, you want to sear it creating a flavorful crust on the outside, right?
- Then generously coat it with a layer of seasoning salt and seasoning pepper - these are spice mixes available at your grocery store that add more flavor than salt and pepper alone.
- Rub the seasoning into the beef.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter just starts to brown, add the steak. Let the steak cook for 2 minutes, then rotate it 90 degrees (to create criss crossing grill marks) and let cook for another 2 minutes.
- Then flip the steak. Cook for 2 minutes, rotate 90 degrees, cook another 2 minutes.
- Remove the steak from the grill pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. If you are nervous that your steak won't be cooked enough, insert a meat thermometer sideways into the center of the steak. You will want it to read 120 degrees, since the internal temperature of the steak will increase slightly as it rests.
- Immediately melt another tablespoon of butter in the same grill pan, add the sliced shallot and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes. Once that was ready, I quickly wilted some spinach in olive oil and seasoned it with salt - mostly because I wanted to put something green on the plate.
- Now that your vegetables are ready and your meat has rested, serve your steak. It should be nice and pink and juicy in the middle.

Steps:
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak. Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.
- 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.
