7 oz beef top sirloin steak, 1-inch thick
¾ tsp salt
1½ tbsp salted butter

Instructions

Prep 10 min · Cook 20 min

Season the steak on both sides with the salt. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Blot the surface of the steak very dry with paper towels. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat with half the butter. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, add the steak. Cook for 4 minutes without moving it to develop a dark crust.
Flip the steak and cook for 2 minutes. Move the pan off the heat for 30 seconds to cool slightly, then return to low heat. Add the remaining butter to the pan. Once it foams, tilt the pan and spoon the butter over the steak repeatedly for 2 minutes. For a thinner steak, reduce the time. Done when browned and 145°F.
Transfer the steak to a plate and pour the remaining butter from the pan over the top. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
