Cast Iron Steaks with Herb Butter

Instructions

1. Salt the steaks and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes; preheat oven to 500F with a cast-iron skillet inside.
2. Combine softened butter, shallots, parsley, chives, garlic, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a bowl; set aside.
3. Pat steaks dry, season with pepper, and sear in the hot skillet with oil, 2 minutes per side over medium-high heat.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low and flip every 2 minutes until steaks reach 120-125F for medium-rare, about 7-9 minutes.
5. Transfer to a carving board, dollop herb butter on each steak, tent with foil, and rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
