So I headed out to Publix and picked up some rib eye steaks ready to tackle it. While I prepped the twice baked potatoes, started sauteing the brussel sprouts, and sauteing the mushrooms, I pulled out the steak and rubbed freshly ground coarse black pepper and sea salt on both sides.
I'm a firm believer that all a good steak needs is a little salt and pepper. Maybe some garlic. This time though, I thought seasoning it with salt & pepper, and then after I cook it, immediately throwing on a slab of chipotle butter, letting it seep into all of the crevasses would be fabulous. And what do you know? I was fabulous. I love it when that happens.
And guess what? I cooked the steak absolutely perfect. Look below so you can recreate a meaty masterpiece.
