Steps: [‘Remove the steaks from the fridge and let sit out until almost room temperature, this may take about 1-1/2 hours depending on how cold your meat is.’, ‘In a small cup or bowl mix the salt, curry powder and black pepper together.’, ‘Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel then lightly brush on oil all over the steaks.’, ‘Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt/curry mixture.’, ‘Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking (no need to grease the pan the steaks already have oil on them).’, ‘Sear the steaks about 4 minutes on each side or until until medium-rare or desired doneness; transfer the steaks to a plate and let stand for about 5 minutes.’, ‘Add in the water to the skillet and deglaze pan by boiling, scraping up any browned bits until reduced to about 2 tablespoons; spoon the juices over the steaks.’]
