Kittencal'S Perfect Pan-Fried Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (8 ounce) boneless beef steaks (1-1/2-inch thick)
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 teaspoons montreal steak spice (or use freshly ground coarse black pepper)
    2 tablespoons butter
    salt (to taste, to be added after cooking only) (optional)
Preparation
    In a bowl combine 3 tablespoons oil with 2 teaspoons steak seasoning or ground black pepper.
    Rub both steaks with the oil/pepper mixture.
    Allow the steaks to sit out to almost room temperature (about 1-1/2 to 2 hours).
    Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
    Quickly sear the meat about 5 seconds on each side; remove from the skillet to a plate.
    Add 2 tablespoons butter to the hot skillet allow to sizzle and brown, then return the meat to the skillet and fry 4-5 minutes per side (the outside of the steak should be browned and crisp).
    Remove steaks from the skillet and allow to stand for 5 minutes to allow the juice to settle.
