Garlic Herb Butter Delmonico Steak

Garlic Herb Butter Delmonico Steak — Steps

1. 1
   Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30–40 minutes before cooking.
2. 2
   Pat steaks completely dry. Season generously with coarse salt and black pepper.
3. 3
   Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until very hot (a drop of water should sizzle instantly).
4. 4
   Add 1 tbsp avocado oil or beef tallow. Sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side—don’t move them while the crust forms.
5. 5
   Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary or thyme.
6. 6
   Tilt the pan and baste steaks with the melted butter for 1–2 minutes.
7. 7
   Remove steaks at 125–130°F for medium-rare (carryover cooking will finish during the rest).
8. 8
   Rest 8–10 minutes before slicing. Spoon the garlic herb butter over the top and serve.
