Cooking steak might seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. This recipe calls for the tried-and-true pan-searing method, using a cast iron skillet to achieve an evenly distributed heat. The quick-searing helps to retain the juices while basting it with butter, garlic, and rosemary adds a rich, aromatic touch. Perfect for a cozy dinner for one or a romantic meal for two, this pan-seared steak brings the steakhouse experience right to your home kitchen.
