Steakhouse Steak At Home

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot, water should sizzle and evaporate instantly when a few drops are splashed on the skillet. Meanwhile season steak to taste with salt, pepper and garlic. Lightly rub steak with flour on top and bottom. This helps form the crust similar to that achieved with a high heat commercial grill. Pour oils into hot skillet, and swirl to coat the surface. Pour off any excess. Place steak in hot skillet. Cook until well browned and crusted. Turn and cook the same. Cook until desired degree of doneness. For most steaks, browning is sufficient for rare, medium rare. For thicker or more done, lower heat slightly, and cook until steak is medium. Remove pan from heat, add soy sauce, butter, and lemon juice. Swirl and baste the steak in the sauce making sure to cover all surfaces.
