Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat steaks bone-dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with coarse salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it is smoking, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving—do not flip early. Crust should be dark brown and caramelized.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer steaks to a plate. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet, swirl 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Pour garlic butter over steaks. Scatter chopped parsley on top. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
