For an even deeper flavor, experiment with adding aromatics such as smashed garlic cloves or sprigs of rosemary or thyme to the skillet during the searing process. Basting the steak with the infused butter will impart a subtle yet complex flavor. Consider using a combination of butter and oil for searing. The oil has a higher smoke point, preventing the butter from burning, while the butter adds richness and flavor. The two-day salting process is crucial for this recipe. It not only seasons the steak throughout but also helps to break down muscle fibers, resulting in a more tender and juicy final product.
