The Perfect Medium Well Steak
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb ribeye steak per person
- 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Remove the steaks from the fridge 45 minutes before cooking. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Then, salt both sides of the steak generously.
- Preheat a large skillet with oil over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle pepper on both sides of the steaks.
- Transfer the steaks to the skillet and sear on each side for about 3-4 minutes or until a golden brown crust forms.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once it melts, spoon the butter over the steak. Continue spooning the butter over the steaks for another 5-8 minutes, or until the steaks reach 145°F in their thickest part. Use a meat thermometer for an accurate reading.
- Remove the steaks from the heat and rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
