Take the 2 boneless beef steaks, choosing either ribeye or sirloin. π₯©π₯©
Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. π§πΆοΈ
The recipe keeps the seasoning simple so the beef remains the main part of the dish.
π₯ Step 2 β Cook the Steaks
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a suitable cooking pan. π«π₯
Add the seasoned steaks and cook them according to your preferred level of doneness.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter during the steak-cooking process. π§π₯©
Allow the steaks to develop a browned exterior while reaching the desired doneness inside.
