Step 1
Pat steaks bone-dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with coarse salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it is smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving—do not flip early. Crust should be dark brown and caramelized.
Step 4
Transfer steaks to a plate. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet, swirl 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour garlic butter over steaks. Scatter chopped parsley on top. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
