Step 1
Pat the 1 lb steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Carefully place the steak in the pan—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 3
Sear the steak without moving for 3-4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and add 2 tbsp butter and 2 sprigs rosemary to the pan.
Step 4
Tilt the pan and spoon the melting butter and rosemary over the steak continuously for 2-3 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness (use a thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare).
Step 5
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and spoon any pan juices over the top before serving.
