Ingredients
 

Chuck Eye Steaks

  • 4 - 8 oz. chuck eye steaks
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Herb Butter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 Tbs. spicy brown mustard
  • Juice from ½ lemon and the zest
  • 1 Tbs. chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • One hour before cooking the steaks, remove them from refrigeration and completely unpackage. Liberally season the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Let the steaks rest, uncovered, on the counter for one full hour at room temperature. **If time allows, let them rest for two hours! The steaks will be even better.
  • While the steaks rest, prepare the herb butter by combining the softened butter with the remaining ingredients. Mold into a log and wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet into the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the hot, preheated skillet from the oven and drizzle generously with olive oil; carefully add the steaks to the skillet.
  • For perfect medium-rare chuck eye steaks, cook the steaks, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes. Turn the steaks over in the skillet and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 125-130 degrees at the center.
  • Remove the steaks from the oven and cover the skillet tightly with foil; let the steaks rest for 10 minutes, completely undisturbed.
  • Top each steak with a scoop or slice of the prepared herb butter and serve at once.
    Or, slice the steaks across the grain into thick slabs and place onto a serving platter, shingled on top of each other; top with the herb butter and enjoy.
