  • Once the oil is hot, place the steaks in the center of the skillet or pan.
  • Let the steak sit for about 2 minutes or until a golden-brown crust form on the bottom.
  • Then, flip the steak over and allow the other side to form a golden-brown crust as well.
  • Don’t forget to sear the sides of the steak.
  • Lower the heat and add the butter and fresh garlic to the skillet.
