Pan Seared Chuck Steak
Enjoy pan-seared chuck steak, a delicious and budget-friendly option for dinner. Achieve the perfect sear by using a cast-iron skillet and enhance the flavor with a drizzle of melted butter. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes and a side of peas and carrots for a great meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless chuck steak
- 2 large garlic cloves
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Take the steak from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
- Rub the peeled garlic all over the surface of the meat. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the steak to the skillet.
- Sear the steak without moving it for about 4 minutes on the first side, until it develops a nice crust.
- Flip the steak and sear the second side for 4 to 5 minutes, adjusting the time depending on the thickness of the steak.
- As the steak nears completion, add the butter to the skillet. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the meat several times.
- Remove the steak from the pan and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.
- Slice with a sharp knife across the grain. Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can heat the meat in a little olive oil or butter in a small skillet the next morning and fold it into an omelet for a protein boost.
