You have the right idea, but you basically boiled your steaks in butter. It made it rubbery and ruined your potential for a really nice sear. It also made the steak shrivel up a bit, and the tendons and ligaments were melted down. That's why your steak was practically falling apart when you were trying to move it around. Also, WAY too much salt, and only one one side of the steak. Rosmary and garlic are good, personally, I'd add a little oregano. Try this next time: - Season both sides of your steak with Salt and Pepper. - Prepare to sear, Garlic, butter (waaaay less than what you used the first time), and rosemary. Medium heat. The goal is to get a nice sear on the outside. This includes the sides of the steak as well. Use a spoon to flick butter over it, like how you did here. 👍 - Take your seared steak, and stick in the oven for a few minutes to get your desired internal temperature. Make sure not to overcook it. - let your steak rest for a few minutes before slicing into it. While it does that, you can make whatever sauce you want to eat with it. Do. Not. Squeeze it. - enjoy.
