🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork chops

Lean cuts provide lower fat content while pork chops are often less expensive.

Let the steak rest outside the fridge for at least 10 minutes before cooking.

Season both sides of the steak heavily with salt.

Heat a stainless steel or non-stick pan until very hot, indicated by steam coming from the sides.

Add vegetable oil to the hot pan and place the steak in the pan away from you, listening for the sound of searing.

Cook the steak for about 1 minute to achieve good color.

Flip the steak and add rosemary, thyme, garlic, and cold butter to the pan.

Allow the cold butter to foam in the hot pan, creating a nutty fragrance while basting the steak with the foaming butter.

Use a meat thermometer to check the steak's temperature, aiming to take it out of the pan 5 degrees lower than your desired doneness (e.g., 47 degrees for rare, 50 degrees for medium-rare).

Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the pan.

Pour the remaining butter and aromatics from the pan over the resting steak before slicing.
