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
Protect the crunch
Why it works
Crisp food needs space, dry surfaces, and steady heat. Crowding creates steam where crunch should be.
Watch for
Work in small batches and give the food a rack or open surface after cooking instead of trapping steam underneath.
Make it yours
Make the sauce the personality. Hot honey, lemon pepper, ranch, chile crisp, or a sharp pickle dip all change the whole plate.
