Take out your steak 30 minutes or so before cooking to let it come to room temperature.
Season generously with salt & pepper. Do not be shy with the salt- this is a big steak and it can handle it!
Heat up your skillet over medium high heat until extremely hot.
Add no more than a tablespoon of vegetable oil and allow it to heat to almost smoking.
Add your steak seasoned side down and repeat salt & pepper on top side.
Cook until a deep brown crust forms (do not turn!) for 4-5 min.
Remove steak from skillet and place on a cutting board, turning it brown side up.
Cut meat from bone (as close as you can get). Now, cut 1” segments perpendicular – or horizontal to the bone.
Replace sliced steak, brown side up, and bone to the skillet (like a meat puzzle) and top with butter.
Cook another 4-7 minutes. This should be about medium rare. You can check in-between slices for doneness.
Remove from pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
