Cast Iron Skillet Steak – In this case, I used New York Strip steak 😋 it’s probably the first time I didn’t use fresh herbs, even though they’re right outside my door 😳 and they look pretty 🤣  I’m going to blame it on the heat. It’s 115° outside. Besides, they’re just as delicious with only salt and butter. They are to us. I also didn’t add pepper or garlic. Either way is dang good. I’ve always gone with all the above, but I watched a video by Good Ranchers – I didn’t find the video I wanted here, but it’s close. You can look through their videos; different options – where they went with only salt, tried it, and they’re right. That’s all you need. That being said, I’ll leave you with the typical recipe below. Another difference I do, good or bad 🤭 is, with a piece of paper towel, I swipe my skillet with bacon fat, no additional oil. Then I sear on HOT skillet, add butter, and baste with spoon until steaks reach desired temperature. You really need a thermometer.

Ingredients for cooking steak

• Steak: We like to use Ribeye or New York Strip steaks for this cooking method. For best results, they should be about 1 to 1 ½ inch in thickness.

• Oil: A healthy oil, like avocado oil or evoo to cook

• Salt and pepper: To season the steaks.

• Butter: Once the steaks are seared, butter is added to the skillet and it adds a delicious richness and helps to brown the beef.

• Fresh herbs: Add in some fresh sprigs of rosemary or thyme for added flavor.

• Garlic: Smash the garlic cloves before adding to the skillet for a hint of flavor.
