Yes.
Sometimes no.

Doesn't matter.

I like to use butter.

No.

Smoked salt (you can order it on Amazon) and fresh cracked black pepper. Nothing else.

No. Unnecessary with a good marbled steak. Now if I'd wasted money on a steak without proper marbling as a result of not being properly finished, I might have to add a fat.

Not unless I want more smoke in my house than normal.

Yes, both salt ant pepper are oil soluble and it helps on a hot sear.

Yep.


BTW, there sure are some hard arse steak people on this board. My philosophy is to experiment and do what tastes good and works best for you. Of course, I'm a radical

I don't personally but I know plenty that do. I use salt and pepper and a dry cast iron skillet medium/high heat. Salt the bottom of the skillet and let ER rip.

I dry brine steaks while they are coming up to room temp. I coat with fat before searing. This kind of frys the surface. I'll use anything from veg oil to rendered beef fat. But most often I use clarified butter. After they are seared I brush with more clarified butter and season with pepper.

Nope-

Salt, rest while it works its magic. Pepper and straight on the hot surface. Keep the meat dry as possible on the surface.

I was going to say this. Unless you cook your steaks on medium to low heat, I wouldn't dream of it.
