Total Time: 1 hr 4 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 4 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 3/4 teaspoons curry powder
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground coarse black pepper
• 2 rib eye steaks (about 3/4-inch thick)
• vegetable oil (for rubbing on steaks)
• 1/4 cup water

Recipe

• 1 remove the steaks from the fridge and let sit out until almost room temperature, this may take about 1-1/2 hours depending on how cold your meat is.
• 2 in a small cup or bowl mix the salt, curry powder and black pepper together.
• 3 pat the steaks dry with a paper towel then lightly brush on oil all over the steaks.
• 4 sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt/curry mixture.
• 5 heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking (no need to grease the pan the steaks already have oil on them).
• 6 sear the steaks about 4 minutes on each side or until until medium-rare or desired doneness; transfer the steaks to a plate and let stand for about 5 minutes.
• 7 add in the water to the skillet and deglaze pan by boiling, scraping up any browned bits until reduced to about 2 tablespoons; spoon the juices over the steaks.
