Tips & Tricks:
- This marinade is also a great recipe to try on any meat that you’re planning on grilling.
- It is suggested to use a cast-iron skillet because it browns the steak beautifully and distributes the heat evenly.
- Dab the steak with a paper towel. When the meat is not dry it will tend to steam instead of sear. And this will cause them to be soft.
- Add the butter to the pan just before serving. Don’t add while cooking. Otherwise, it will burn with the high heat and spoil the taste.
- Be sure to let the steak rest 5-10 minutes for the juices to be absorbed throughout the steak. In this way, you will not end up with all the good flavor on the serving plate instead of inside the steak.
