Instructions

1. Prepare the Herb Butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix well, and then form into a log using plastic wrap, twisting the ends to seal. Refrigerate until firm.
2. Season and Cook the Steak: Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the T-bone steak generously with salt and black pepper. Add olive oil to the hot skillet and carefully place the steak in.
3. Sear and Cook: Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, ensuring it develops a deep golden-brown crust. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, flipping the steak occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
4. Finish with Herb Butter: Remove the steak from the heat and place slices of the herb butter on top. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and the juices to redistribute. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
