Even though I love a charcoal flavored steak, sometimes the weather just doesn't cooperate. I found this technique on Pinterest. I've done this with chicken but not steak. I'm going to try it out for a surprise Valentine's Day dinner.
Liberally salt your steak on both sides with good kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Make sure you use kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper... it really does make a difference.
Let one stick of butter come to room temperature, mix in a tablespoon of fresh chopped thyme and parsley with the zest of one lemon, roll the butter mixture in wax paper to make a log shape, refrigerate
(you can make extra to keep on hand).
In a hot cast iron skillet melt a couple of tablespoons of your butter mixture, sear your steak on both sides (2-3 minutes/side depending on thickness of steak), add more butter during the process if you are running short at all, you want plenty of butter. Put skillet with steak still in it in a 400 degree oven for 5-6 minutes. Remove skillet from oven, place steaks on serving plate, top with a slice of butter mixture, let steak rest for a few minutes before cutting into it.
