  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or high-heat oil

Equipment

  6. Let them sit undisturbed for 4 minutes.
  7. Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
  8. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan around the steaks.
  9. Baste the steaks continuously with the butter for 2-3 minutes.
