Brown Butter With a Steak

Ive been doing this method because of the weather outside.

I take a 2-3 inch deep cast iron and put a good amount of oil in it. Put it on medium to medium-high heat until the oil starts to lightly smoke. Put the steak in and flip, flip, and flip some more. The more you turn the steak, the better. For a large ribeye, I do this for about 4-5 minutes. After that, I put the butter in the pan and let it melt. Tilt the pan towards me with the steak at the top and spoon the butter nonstop for about 30 seconds each time. Let rest for 10 minutes. Eat.

One of the easier and better methods imo

Will definitely try next time. Yea the oil isnt necessary. Time before last I just had some bacon in the pan earlier that day so I used the grease left over.

I was hesitant about the flipping the steak every 20 seconds or so but it works great.

Did it last week with skirt steak. After I pulled the steak, I dumped a bunch of shrooms in the pan to cook and go with the meat. It came out pretty tasty

That sounds really good. What I find delicious is to chop some garlic and parsley very finely and place on top of the seared steaks. I then take some clarified butter and heat it to almost smoking in a small sauce pan and spoon this over the plated steaks.

This is so good and the smell is incredible.

Where have you been? I've mentioned brown butter on steak a number of times. I love it. Brown butter in many things is a gift from the gods. With steak, I like to fry some parsley in it just before serving.

I get my iron skillet hot and dry, salt the bottom and put my steak in. I don't turn until it releases, just like I do hamburgers, then flip and do the same. I then top with bleu cheese butter, let it start to melt and pull.

Bleu cheese butter:

1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup bleu cheese (I prefer a double creme bleu cheese)
Chopped parsley and thyme
Bit of salt

Mix well then into a roll and chill after use.

A good different one is use a double creme black truffled cheese. You can use the crumbled cheese, I just prefer a smoother, softer cheese.

Yep. Seen it on plenty of shows but too lazy and dumb to take the step at home.

Agree with Martini on the blue cheese butter as a topping, as well. You don't need much, but blue cheese and steak are a nice combo.

Very rich?

I dunno. I don't really equate a little butter on a steak to being very rich food. Maybe my definition is wrong
