How to Pan Sear a Striploin Steak

Ingredients

• 1 striploin steak
• 2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

1. Generously season all sides of the steak with the salt and pepper. Place on a plate and let rest for one hour.
2. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.
3. Pat steak dry with a paper towel. Place the steak in the frying pan and cook for 4-5 minutes.
4. Use tongs to flip the steak over to the other side. A seared crust should have developed on the cooked side of the steak.
5. Continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes.
6. Add butter to the pan and lower heat to medium.
7. Continually spoon the melted butter over the steak. After a minute or two, turn again and keep basting with the melted butter.
8. Cook until it reaches desired level of doneness.
