Steps
- 1Salt the steaks and let them sit until the surface looks dry.
- 2Heat cast iron until it is hot enough to sear on contact.
- 3Sear without moving until a deep crust forms.
- 4Flip, lower the heat, and baste with butter, garlic, and rosemary.
- 5Rest before slicing so the juices stay in the meat.
Grit & Soul tip
Resting is not optional. The quiet minutes after heat are where the steak settles.

The memory belongs below the recipe.
This is the kind of skillet dinner people remember because it feels bigger than the ingredient list.
Grit & Soul keeps the cooking directions easy to reach first. The story still matters, but it should never make someone scroll forever before they can cook.

18m agoThis is the kind of idea I would save for a cold Sunday. The cast iron move feels exactly right.
Grit & Soul know-how
Let the pan work
Why it works
Cast iron likes a real preheat. Once it is ready, it holds heat long enough to build the browned edges people came for.
Watch for
Do not crowd the pan. Give each piece contact with the surface, then let it release when the crust is ready.
Make it yours
Use the same pan for the finish: butter, garlic, herbs, sauce, or a quick pan gravy.
