*PERFECT STEAK* - my words but its really just the way to do it - tradition a) Take batteries out of smoke detectors, if any. b) DRY cast iron skillet as hot as it gets. The redder the better* c) salt on the bottom. Keeps it from sticking mostly. d) 3-8 minutes, leaving it on ONE SIDE as _long as you can stand it_... because you're gonna wanna flip it.... before flipping it. e) sear the sides too for extra omg-how-did-you-do-that f) stick a pat of butter on top at the end. Make sure it melts and gets in every nook and cranny. g) serve it with a new pat of butter on top. h) put smoke detector batteries back in. * if you have flat glass top stove, don't make it TOO red 'cause...
