Cochran Review: These were succulent and wonderful! I highly recommend making this recipe! Quick, too! One to two minutes of prep and nine minutes of cooking. I did a few things different from the original recipe post due to comments on the blog, but basically followed the blogger's original instructions. Here's how I made our steaks:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Fill skillet (safe for stove top and oven use) with 4 Tbsp of butter and olive oil. Oh yeah! LOL
While waiting for the skillet mixture to scream at you on medium heat, start next butter mixture.
Butter mixture:
- 4 Tbsp of butter
- 1 Tbsp of basil
- 1 tsp of white pepper
- 2 tsp of minced garlic
- put ingredients in a heat resistant bowl and set on oven so oven heating up softens butter
Salt and pepper steaks.
When skillet mixture is sizzling place steaks in the skillet seasoned side down. Don't move them, they're fine.
Cook steaks for 3-4 minutes. I did 4 and our steaks maintained a pinkish middle, but no bloody drippings.
Season steak side facing up with salt and pepper while other side is cooking.
Flip steaks after 3-4 minutes.
Turn stove top off.
Top steaks with butter mixture.
Place skillet in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 mins. Again, don't fuss with them.
Original recipe suggest plating them to rest, but I put them in a casserole dish so I could pour all of the yummy juice with them.
Cover with foil.
Allow to rest 15 minutes to an hour. I let them rest for an hour, but we ended up heating them a bit when my husband got home from work. I'd probably shoot for 30 minutes nest time.
I served this with tricolor quinoa with green beans mixed in and a salad on the side for the original meal. Yum, yum, yum! Enjoy!
For next day leftovers:
I sprayed olive oil cooking spray in a hot pan & added tortillas.
Then heated cut up steak and quinoa in the pan.
While meat mixture was heating I smashed fresh avocado in the tortillas and squeezed fresh lime.
Wish I had cilantro to add, but I didn't.
Add meat mixture to tortillas.
Top with salsa. Our favorite is Mrs. Renfros Mango Habenero.
Enjoy again!
