the perfect steak

salt
pepper
steak
butter

Salt the steak lightly on both sides.  Use a generous amount of pepper on both sides.  you want to use more than you think because this makes a really good crust when its finished.  heat a cast iron skillet to 3/4 heat.  place the butter in to skillet and the meat.  flip the meat after about 3-4 minutes and let it cook on the other side for about the same time.  for juicy medium rare meat, make your hand into a light fist and poke the muscle inbetween your thumb and index finger.  this is how your steak should feel when you  poke it.  DO NOT STAB IT, CUT IT, OR SQUISH IT.  THIS WILL KILL IT OF JUICES.  just let it do its course and take it off the heat.  let it sit for 4 minutes and then serve.
