Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chuck steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the chuck steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and drizzle both sides with the olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
Once the butter is hot and bubbling, add the steaks to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a crust forms and the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
If the steaks are thick, reduce the heat to low after searing and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side to ensure they are cooked through.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
