Directions:

1

With a sharp knife, make small incisions, about 1 1/2 inches apart in the fat around the outside of each steak

Add the steaks and sear for 1 minute on each side

4

Reduce the heat to medium

5

Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper and continue cooking, turning the steaks every other minute, until you see little pearls of blood come to the surface, about 6 to 8 minutes

The steaks should be cooked rare to medium for juicy, tender meat

Over medium heat, deglaze the pan with the water and swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter
