Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add enough oil to create a good sear on the steak.
Season the steak generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the steak in the hot skillet and cook for about 1 minute until it starts to sizzle and form a crust.
Flip the steak, then add butter to the pan.
Spoon the melted butter over the steak continuously for about 1 minute, making sure the butter doesn’t burn.
For a 1-inch thick steak, cook for a total of approximately 4 minutes to reach medium-rare, aiming for an internal temperature around 135°F (57°C).
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest before serving.
