Let steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Pat steak dry with paper towel to achieve good sear. Season steak with 1 pinch sea salt and 1 pinch pepper on both sides.
1 pinch sea salt, 1 pinch pepper
Place pan on medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. When oil is hot, place steak in pan, dropping steak away from you to prevent any hot oil from splashing back,
1 tablespoon avocado oil
Lower heat to medium, not moving steak for 2 to 3 minutes to create a crispy sear.
If steak was at room temperature, cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes.
For medium steak, use a meat thermometer and remove from pan when internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F / 57 degrees C.
Allowing steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into it helps the natural juices to absorb back into the meat.
Cover in 1 tablespoon butter and enjoy!
