Directions
- Pat steak pieces very dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a seasoned de Buyer carbon-steel skillet over high heat until very hot. Add high-heat oil and sear steak in batches without crowding, turning to develop a deep browned crust while keeping the center at the family’s preferred doneness. Transfer browned steak to a plate. Lower heat, add butter, garlic, oregano, and rosemary, and cook briefly until fragrant without burning the garlic. Return all steak to the skillet and toss just long enough to coat in the garlic-herb butter. Remove from heat and finish with fresh lemon juice and parsley. Serve immediately.
Equipment
Wüsthof IKON Chef’s Knife; Asahi Hi-Soft cutting board; de Buyer 12-inch or 14-inch carbon-steel skillet; tongs; instant-read thermometer; BlueStar range.
Food safety & storage
Refrigerate promptly and use within 3–4 days. Reheat quickly in a hot skillet only until warmed through to avoid overcooking the steak. Use safe handling practices for raw beef and prevent cross-contamination.
