- Lightly butter both sides of each piece of bread and grill until lightly browned. Set bread aside.
- Add a tbsp of butter or oil to the pan and sauté shallots until golden brown. Set aside.
- Heat the cast iron to hot! Add 1 tbsp butter to the pan, once butter is browned sear your steak on each side for a few minutes. Add the pan and hot steak to the oven at 425 degrees to finish cooking until medium rare or your preferred level of finished. Please don't cook it well!
- Remove steak & let it rest for about 5 minutes. Once rested, slice steak thinly.
