    Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Reduce heat, add butter, garlic, and rosemary. Baste steak with melted butter.

  6. 6

    Remove when desired doneness is reached and rest for 5 minutes.

Tips

Resting is crucial. Cutting immediately lets all the juices escape.
Medium-rare is reached at an internal temperature of 55C (130F).
A smoking hot pan is essential for a proper Maillard reaction sear.
