4. Make sure your Bavette steak has been brought to room temp before cooking.
5. Pre-heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
6. Season the meat just before you add to the pan.
7. Add some olive oil to the pan and cook over high heat turning the steak only once after a rich, golden crust has formed.
8. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 – 4 minutes on each side.
9. Finish by adding a large knob of butter to the pan and baste each side.
10. Remove the steak from the pan and leave it to rest in a warm place for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
