stink AKA steakkkk

so there is this mad southern chick that makes mad good food named chef blyth beck. she had a reality show that i learned crazy dirty south skills off of but it got cancelled. tear!

it didn't go away before i learned to make her steaks though. confetti! like these better than any stinking marinade mess i've done before. enjoy!

2 servings....wow, i got loose with servings. how fancy of me.

stuff you'll need:

* 2 steaks about 1-1/2 inches thick. don't matter what kind. be careful if you get bone in steak though cause those things cook faster for whatever reason. i think that bone in is more flavorful and i like um better even though they are a tad harder to eat.

**off note - room temp steaks are the easiest to cook. let your steaks sit and chill before you cook**

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

* salt to taste

* pepper to taste

what to do:

1. pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees.

2. pour olive oil into a large skillet that'll hold the two steaks.

3. pre-heat the skillet on about 8 or 9 on the top of the stove.

4. salt and pepper the steaks. i like to have a nice amount of pepper and just a lil amount of salt. i am totally not going to pretend that i know what level of salt you like cause it varies from person to person.

5. sear the steaks in the skillets on both sides. make sure you get a good deep brown that isn't burnt. you can do this by flipping them often and watching what is happening.

6. take your butter and rub the divided amounts on both steaks.

7. stick your skillet into the oven. if you have plastic or rubber handles you will have to wrap them in tin foil so they will not burn.

8. take your steak out in 6-8 minutes depending on the doneness you like.

9. be impressed with yourself cause you should be, you steak master you!
