教，学，和分享

To cook the perfect medium rare steak:

1. Use USDA Prime, dry-aged rib-eye steak. Copiously salt and pepper. Let rise to room temperature.
2. Few tablespoons of olive oil into a cast iron on high heat.
3. When skillet starts to smoke, lay steak down for 2-3 minutes.
4. Flip. The side should be caramelized and crispy.
5. Sear for another 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
6. Add a pat of butter and baste the steak to give it a nice brown, nutty flavor.
7. Sear the sides for 30 seconds. Lift out of the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
