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.

Bake with confidence
Why it works
Baking rewards control more than improvisation. A fully heated oven and an even pan give the crust a fair start.
Watch for
Let the center set before slicing. The carryover heat is part of the recipe, not a delay.
Make it yours
Add one small personal mark: orange zest, cracked pepper, a honey finish, or a different pan.
