As a chef for a number of years if I may suggest to always oil the steak not the pan, and when seasoning season with salt alone no pepper, salt cooks the pepper will just burn, season with the pepper after cooking.

Instead of garlic powder crush 2 cloves put in the butter along with a sprig of rosemary and baste

I marinated in a little italian dressing for a few hours, 2 -1" thick NY strip steaks. Pat dry out of frig at least 20 mins., used Kosher salt a little thyme and rubbed in small amount of Avocado Oil, pepper. Got the pan very hot with more oil. Cooked just like you did, with butter towards the end. One of the very best steaks I ever made. Somebody said "is this porterhouse?" It was AMAZING! I pass on the garlic, it burns too easy. Thanks for making this video! GREAT JOB...CHEERS!

I tried this with a London broil. It came out amazing and my family thought I was a bit of a hero.

Oh man! I used your instructions and it is soooo good. I used mushrooms instead of zucchini and I am so pleased. Thank you!

Try using an oil with higher smoke point such as avocado oil. Olive oil has low smoke point and burns very quickly. Hence the smoke.

Been cooking ribeyes for years in cast iron skillet. I do 3 min per side( 2 inch steak) on medium heat. I add enough oil in pan to just coat it. Comes out perfect medium rare each time and delicious.

I cook my steaks the same way. Only input I have is make sure the steak is room temperature. I marinate and put the steak in a Quart freezer bag. Then I lay it on the counter for 1-2 hours. GREAT Video! I stopped Grilling steaks LONG ago.

I never cooked a steak that I absolutely loved. That changed today with tips from your video. I used avocado oil in the cast iron and slapped some on the steak then seasoned it with coasher salt and onion powder. Cooked for 8.5 minutes total. Thing was a perfect medium rare. Perfection.

This is the best way to get the perfect steak. Just a little pointer, it is important to always make sure your stove is leveled out so there's no puddling on one side. That way your oil and butter etc, is even on the bottom of the pan. Actually for anything cooked on a stove. It makes a huge difference.
Keep up the great work

I follow these directions to the dot, in the steak was unreal. Thank you so much for making such a video.

Followed this recipe to a tee, and got phenomenal results. Cast iron is my new friend.

The local butcher sells a seasoning salt with pepper and a little celery salt mixed in. It’s a great steak seasoning. I church it up with garlic and onion salt.

We threw some nice steaks on our cast iron and cooked them this way (asking some fresh onions and garlic cloves). It was simply devine. Thanks for sharing this fantastic 
video..

[stevecable]

Obviously a matter of taste, but I'd suggest adding some thyme to the steak seasoning. Fresh sprig if possible, but dry works well, too. Just toss it in with the butter.

Cooked my first steak today July 19/23. Best thing I ever ate. Thanks bruv

[anonsurf]

Some really good tips here. Will try cooking until 115 degrees. I would add thyme and garlic to basting. Also, I find that letting the steak sit in the fridge overnight helps bring out flavors too.

[joerobertson]

Great job. Try putting some garlic and rosemary in with the butter when you baste. I'd do only 6 minutes...better rare than medium. The cast iron is a winner for sure.

Hey brother...Omgosh I so appreciate this video. This was the 2nd time ever trying to cook a steak and it was PERFECT! I couldn't believe it. It was a Birthday dinner for my mother & I and it was an awesome success. Granted, I did marinate the steaks over night but I patted them dry w a paper towel and then followed your directions to a "T" except I used mushrooms and onions for the veggies. Then I put it all on top of a bed of homemade mashed potatoes. Delicious💜
