Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Chuck Eye Steak, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, a sprinkle
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Butter, 2 tablespoons for basting
  • Fresh herbs (Rosemary or Thyme), a few sprigs
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes, a pinch (for gentle heat)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Steak: Bring the chuck eye steak to room temperature, ensuring even cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Let it rest while you preheat your grill or skillet.
  2. Preheating Your Cooking Surface: Heat your grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it is smoking hot. This high temperature is crucial for developing a nice caramelized crust while keeping the interior juicy.
  3. Searing the Steak: Lightly brush the steak with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place it on the grill or skillet and let it sear undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes to create a beautiful crust.
  4. Flipping and Basting: Flip the steak and immediately add butter and fresh rosemary or thyme to the pan. Continuously baste the melted butter over the steak with a spoon for an additional 4-5 minutes. This step keeps the steak moist and infuses rich herbal flavors.
  5. Checking for Doneness and Resting: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature—130°F for medium-rare or adjust to your preference. After cooking, transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to lock in the juices.

Notes

  • Bring steak to room temperature about 30 minutes before cooking for even heat distribution.
  • Use high heat to create a flavorful crust; don’t rush searing.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure perfect doneness every time.
  • Rest the steak after cooking to retain juices and enhance tenderness.
  • Butter basting adds moisture, richness, and a glossy finish—do not skip.
