Steps

Pat the steak dry and salt both sides. Chuck eye sits right next to the ribeye, so it marbles like one for half the price.

Heat a cast iron skillet on high until it just starts to smoke.
- 3
Sear 3 minutes per side for a hard crust.
- 4
Add the butter, tilt the pan, and baste for 60 seconds.

Rest 5 minutes, slice against the grain, and crack pepper over the top.
Keep the pan hot
