Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Remove steaks from fridge 15 minutes before cooking so they reach room temperature.

  2. Step 2

    Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels on both sides and edges.

  3. Step 3

    Season generously on both sides with fleur de sel and cracked pepper just before cooking.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over high heat until it's smoking, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add olive oil, then place steaks in pan. Do not move them for 90 seconds.

  6. Step 6

    Flip steaks once. Sear the second side 90 seconds for rare (internal temp 120°F).

  7. Step 7

    Transfer to a warm plate and rest 5 minutes uncovered. Temperature will rise 5°F.

  8. Step 8

    Squeeze fresh lemon over each steak. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
