wikiHow Pan Fried Chuck Steak Recipe Ingredients: * 2 lbs chuck steak * Salt and pepper * 2 tbsp olive oil * 2 garlic cloves, minced * 2 sprigs fresh thyme * 2 tbsp butter Instructions: Remove the chuck steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides of the chuck steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet or other heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and thyme to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chuck steak to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until a crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt, basting the steak with the melted butter for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chuck steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Page
