Recipe: Pan-Fried Steak

Pan-Fried Angus Ribeye with bone

INGREDIENTS:

  • A ribeye steak, about an inch thick (ribeye has more fat & flavor)
  • Avocado oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Butter

DIRECTIONS:

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