Notes
- Let the steak rest — skipping this step causes the juices to run out when you cut in.
- Slice against the grain for the most tender bite.
- Leftover garlic butter keeps in the fridge for up to 1 week. Use it on bread, pasta, or vegetables.
- For stovetop: use a cast-iron skillet over high heat with the same timing.
