Directions

Steak:

1. Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry.

3. Season generously with your choice of seasoning. Jordan’s favorites are Rainier Foods The Essentials and Gochu.
4. Preheat a cast iron skillet with olive oil. Make sure the skillet is nice and hot.
5. Add steaks to skillet and sear each side 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (medium, medium rare).
6. Remove steak and add compound butter while resting.
7. After about 10 minutes slice steak and serve.

Compound Butter:

1. Place 1/2 C of butter in a bowl.

4. Mix together until combined.
5. Once combined, lay a piece of Saran Wrap on the counter and place butter on Saran Wrap.
6. Fold over Saran Wrap and roll until a “log” of butter is formed.
7. Place in refrigerator to chill.

Garlic Mash:

1. Wash red potatoes thoroughly and cut in half.

4. Mash together with an electric mixer until desired consistency is reached.
5. Place potatoes in a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.
