Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds steak London broil 1 inch thick or more
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • ½ stick butter use more if desired

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients

  • Pierce the steak with a fork 4 or 5 times on one side of steak, pour olive oil on and salt. Rub the olive oil and salt into the steak. Turn the steak over and do the same on the other side. Leave steak out to come to room temperature.
  • Cut the 1/2 stick of butter into pieces. You can use more butter if you like. In this recipe you can be liberal with the butter. The more butter, the more sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat a heavy bottomed, oven safe skillet on high heat until it is very hot. Do not add oil to the skillet, you have oil on the steak already. Put the steak in the dry skillet. It should start steaming quickly. Sear for 2 minutes.
  • Turn steak over with tongs. Add butter pieces to the seared side of steak. Sear second side of steak for 2 minutes and turn steak again. Remove steak from heat and add butter pieces to the top.
  • Put seared steak into the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then remove the skillet from oven to rest. Be very careful removing the skillet from the oven. It is heavy, awkward and extremely hot.
  • Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before serving. While steak is resting, baste with the drippings in the skillet.

Notes

This cooking method is also great with center cut, bone-in pork chops too. Whether it be steak, or pork chops, if you are going to use a favorite dry seasoning, check to see if it contains salt. Chances are it will. If there is any, don't add additional salt. Use the mix instead of the salt in the recipe. Most likely your butter will be salted too. You don't want to over salt. You can add salt at the table, but once the salt has permeated the meat, you are stuck with it.
