Cooked and sliced strip steak medium rare. On a wood cutting board with a pool of red and brown resting juices — *I sliced this too soon and the blood ran out. Learn from my mistakes. Let thick steaks rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. Skirt Steaks you don't have to let rest as long.*

Ingredients

Ingredient List Steak:

4 (or ~2 lb) steak (New York Strip, Flank, Sirloin, Skirt)
vegetable oil to lightly coat bottom of pan
3 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 8 equal tabs

Ingredient List Dry Rub:

1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 teaspoon paprika (Hot or Sweet)
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon raw sugar (paleo, whole 30, and keto leave sugar out)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne - add less if you are sensitive to spice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.
Mix all dry rub ingredients together and evenly rub on steaks. You should have some dry rub left to save for later.
Bring an oven safe pan to medium high heat (cast iron works great) and add enough vegetable oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Pan fry uncovered (grab a splatter guard for grease) ~ 2-3 minutes per side (depending on thickness and kind of cut).
Add a tab of butter to the top and bottom of each steak. Move to the oven and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness.
If you are using sliced skirt steak you will only need to pan fry (no oven) for ~ 1-2 minute on each side.
Tent and let rest ~ 5-10 minutes before slicing. Add salt to taste. Happy Eating! Beckie
