Steps:
- Thoroughly pat steak dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, generously season with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper
- Heat the cast iron pan until hot then add 1/2 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Once the oil is very hot, add steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks on the first side for 4 minutes until a brown crust has formed then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on its sides to render the white fat and sear the edges (1-minute per edge).
- Reduce heat to medium and immediately add 2 Tbsp butter, quartered garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the butter sauce over the steak, tilting the pan to get butter on your spoon. Continue spooning the sauce over the steak for a minute or until the steak is about 5-10 degrees from your desired doneness (the temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while steaks rest).
- Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover and rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2" strips to serve. Spoon extra butter sauce over sliced steak to serve.

Steps:
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak. Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes.

Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare.

Steps:
- For gorgonzola butter:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic on piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic cloves out from papery skins into medium bowl; mash garlic with fork. Mix in butter, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer Gorgonzola butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 1 1/4-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around butter. Chill until firm. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.) Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
- For onion rings:
- Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add onion rings; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another large bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working with a few onion rings at a time, shake off excess buttermilk, then turn onion rings in flour mixture to coat. Fry onion rings until deep golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary for each batch to maintain temperature at 350°F, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain, then place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven while frying remaining onion rings.
- For steaks:
- Brush steaks with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with Gorgonzola butter and onion rings.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: For pan-frying, choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and juicy.
- Season the steak properly: Season the steak generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Pan-fry the steak over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a good quality butter: Use a good quality butter, such as unsalted butter or ghee, to pan-fry the steak. This will help to add flavor to the steak and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Add aromatics to the pan: Add some aromatic vegetables, such as shallots or garlic, to the pan while cooking the steak. This will help to infuse the steak with flavor.
- Make a pan sauce: After cooking the steak, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Then, add some wine or broth to the pan and cook until it is reduced by half. Stir in some butter and herbs, and then spoon the sauce over the steak.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed any night of the week. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pan-fried steaks are tender, juicy, and flavorful.
