Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients

Steak Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Delmonico steaks (8 oz each, about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed

Instructions

  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot. Add the olive oil.
  • Place the steaks in the pan and cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes per side, or until a golden crust forms.
  • Add the butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan during the last few minutes of cooking. Baste the steaks with the melted butter mixture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the steaks beforehand or using a dry rub with herbs like thyme and paprika.
