Ingredients

STEAK

  • 1½ pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed of fat
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground and coarse
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter (I start with one and add more if needed)

Instructions

STEAK

  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and season with salt and pepper about 30 minutes before cooking.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook steaks in butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness. (For medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°F, medium, 140°F, medium-well, 145°F.)
  • Try tipping the skillet up and spooning the butter back over the steak. You can also add more butter to the pan if you want.
  • Set aside to cool slightly, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Slice against the grain as thinly as possible.
