Cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Remove to a plate.

Sear the steak

Season steak with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

Add 1 Tbsp olive oil + 1 Tbsp butter to the skillet.

Garlic butter magic

Lower heat to medium.

Add remaining 2 Tbsp butter and garlic.

Cook 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn it!).
