Ingredients

For the Steak:

2 beef chuck eye steaks (1–2 inches thick)
1 tsp coarse kosher salt
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder

Optional Marinade

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary or thyme

For Topping

2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp chopped parsley

Instructions

Prepare the Steak:

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Optional Marinade:

Mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and herbs in a bowl.
Place the steaks in the marinade and coat them thoroughly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Preheat the Cooking Surface:

For pan-searing: Preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of high-smoke-point oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil).
For grilling: Preheat the grill to high heat (about 450°F).

Cook the Steaks:

Place the steaks on the hot skillet or grill.
For medium-rare: Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side. Adjust time for your preferred doneness.
Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: Rare: 125°F. Medium-Rare: 130°F. Medium: 140°F. Medium-Well: 150°F

Rest the Steaks:

Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Add Toppings and Serve:

Mix softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.
Top each steak with a dollop of garlic butter before serving.

Notes

Cooking Methods: Try broiling or reverse searing for a different texture and flavour.
Customize Seasonings: Experiment with spice rubs or marinades to create unique flavours.
Pairings: Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
