2) Continually flipping and basting the steak allows a better crust


how does it get a better crust if it's not in the pan as much?

It stays in the pan the whole time, save for the nanosecond one flips it.

Call the side of the meat touching the pan, the active side. The side not touching, the non-active side. The milk solids in the butter as it is poured over the meat continues to cook the non-active side and brown the non-active side.

I do this method two or three times a week. Forget the oven. Leave on counter for 2 hours to get to room temp. salt and pepper. Sear each side for 4 minutes on med/high heat on the stove top. For a 1.5 inch steak, this should get you med rare. add time if necessary.
