To go along with the easy “guy” recipes, here’s a steak recipe that I got from Kevin, a friend of mine.  He’s a grill/cook master so I’m sure when he sees these pics he’ll be like “OMG what have you done to that steak”.  The timing of this recipe is for a medium to medium rare steak.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• Kosher salt
• Pepper

Directions:

1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a pan over high heat.
2. Season one side of the steak liberally with kosher salt and pepper.  Put on enough salt to mostly cover the surface of the steak.
3. When the oil/butter is hot enough (put in a drop of water, if it sizzles, you’re good to go ), put the steak in the pan seasoned side down.
4. Season the other side of the steak with kosher salt and pepper.
5. After a minute, turn the heat down to medium high and continue to cook for two minutes
6. Turn the heat back to high and after a minute, flip the steak to the other side.
7. After a minute, turn the heat down to medium high and cook for three more minutes.
