Garlic Butterhouse Steak
Ingredients
- Steak
- 1 large steak of your choice at least 1½ inches thick
- Coarse sea salt as needed
- Fresh parsley finely chopped (for garnish)
- Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons clarified butter melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste or very finely minced garlic
- 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire-style sauce
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Generously season the steak on all sides with coarse sea salt. Place uncovered in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour to dry brine (overnight if time allows).
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic paste, Worcestershire-style sauce, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Preheat a very hot cooking surface such as a broiler, grill, or high-heat oven to about 850°F.
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Place the steak on a wire rack or grill and cook for 2 minutes per side, rotating once, until a deep crust forms.
- Remove the steak and slice it into thick strips. Arrange the slices tightly together in a cast-iron skillet or heat-safe serving pan.
- Pour the garlic butter evenly over the steak slices, coating them well.
- Return the pan to high heat and cook to your preferred doneness:
- Rare: 45 seconds–1½ minutes
- Medium-rare: 1½–2 minutes
- Medium: 2–2½ minutes
- Medium-well: 2½–3 minutes
- Well done: 3+ minutes
- Remove from heat, rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
