Steps

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Heat a cast iron skillet on high until it just starts to smoke.

  3. 3

    Sear 3 minutes per side for a hard crust.

  4. 4

    Add the butter, tilt the pan, and baste for 60 seconds.

  5. 5

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