Steps:

Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon salt in bottom of skillet; pat beef dry with paper towels. Place steak in skillet and cook until easily moved, 1-2 minutes; flip, placing steak in a different section of the skillet. Cook 30 seconds and then begin moving steak, occasionally pressing slightly to ensure even contact with skillet., Continue turning and flipping until cooked to desired degree of doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 1-2 minutes.

EASY STEAK & CORN SKILLET SUPPER

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, quickly brown the steak strips in oil along with the onion slivers (There should still be some pink remaining on the meat at this point).
• Sprinkle with thyme, then add wine or beef broth and allow the liquid to reduce until is has evaporated- this takes around 10 minutes.
• Do not be tempted to raise the heat too high- too high a temp will produce overcooked meat.
• Pour in the tomatoes along with their liquid, cover the pan, and let simmer 15 minutes more over low heat.
• Add the corn and heat just enough to warm the corn through.
• Serve ladled over cooked white rice.
• Note: Mexicorn is canned sweet corn kernals with little bits of mild chilies& sweet red peppers.
• If unavailable, use regular corn.

STEAKHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with vegetable oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to evenly coat all sides.
• When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, for a total of 10 minutes.
• Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter, if using, and place the skillet in the oven. Cook the steaks until they reach 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.)
• Remove the steaks to a serving platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Roquefort Chive Sauce on the side.
• Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has become thick and creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cheese, salt, pepper and chives and whisk rapidly until the cheese melts.
