Instructions
- Remove the T-bone steaks from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a garlic-paprika paste.
- Rub the spice mix evenly over both sides of the T-bone steaks, ensuring that the garlic and spices adhere well to the meat.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Carefully add the seasoned T-bone steaks to the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
- In the last minute of cooking, add the butter and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste them for added flavor.
- While the steaks are resting, add the halved chili peppers to the skillet, cut side down. Char for about 2-3 minutes until they have grill marks and soften slightly.
- Remove the T-bone steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
- Slice the T-bone steaks against the grain and serve with the charred chili peppers on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a smokier flavor, consider using a smoked salt in the spice mix.
