Ingredients

  • 2 pounds bavette steak
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • parsley, thyme, flaky sea salt, and pepper to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat a cast iron griddle pan over medium-high heat. Season the steak really well with salt and pepper all over.
  • Once the pan is hot, add oil, then the steak in a single layer, with the thinnest side of the steak away from the hottest heat source, as it will cook faster than everything else.
  • Once the steak naturally releases itself from the pan, that means you've got a good sear. Flip the steak over and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches about 5°F below your desired doneness. We use a meat thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  • Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain to serve. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, oven, air fryer, or microwave.

Notes

  • Season to taste. We like to use about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of meat, so scale accordingly to the size of your steak.
  • Use a meat thermometer for the best results.
  • Please utilize the temperature cooking guide in this post to help you determine when to take your steak off according to your desired doneness.
