Method
Restated from the original video
- 1
Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 min before cooking and dry them well with kitchen paper.
- 2
Season both sides generously with the salt.
- 3
Heat a grill or cast-iron grill pan over high heat until very hot, 5-10 min.
- 4
Brush the steaks lightly on both sides with the olive oil.
- 5
Lay the steaks on the grill and leave them untouched until a dark crust forms, 3-4 min.
- 6
Turn and cook the second side for 3-4 min, then hold each steak on its fat edge for 1 min to render it.
- 7
Check the thickest part with a thermometer: take the steaks off at 52 °C (125 °F) for medium-rare or 57 °C (135 °F) for medium. If they are not there yet, move them to a cooler spot and turn every minute until they are.
- 8
Put the steaks on a warm plate, top each with half the butter and sprinkle over the pepper.
- 9
Rest for 5 min, spooning the melted butter over them, then slice across the grain.
