Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Delmonico steak (at least 1.5 inches thick)
- 2 tablespoons canola or avocado oil for searing
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2–3 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Let the Delmonico steak sit at room temperature for optimal cooking.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the steak generously with salt.
- Place the steak in the skillet, searing each side.
- Flip the steak every 30 seconds to a minute for even cooking.
- Once both sides are seared, add butter, thyme, and bay leaf.
- While tilting the pan, spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste it.
- Using a meat thermometer, check for medium-rare (130-135°F).
- Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for at least 2 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer and do not walk away while cooking. Let the steaks rest to retain juices.
