Instructions
-
1Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry.
-
2Heat cast iron skillet on high until lightly smoking. Add oil.
-
3Place steaks in — don't move! Sear for 2 minutes, then flip.
-
4Sear another 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
-
5Add cannabis butter, rosemary, and garlic. Continuously spoon the melted butter over the steaks (basting) — 2-3 minutes.
-
6Check internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) = medium rare, 140°F (60°C) = medium.
-
7Remove from pan, rest for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper only then.
Pro Tips
- Do NOT add cannabis butter during the initial searing — it will burn at high heat.
- The resting period is critical: Meat juices distribute evenly.
- The butter from the pan can be poured over the steak as a sauce.
