Instructions
- Season both sides of the steaks with homemade steak seasoning and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until very hot. Add avocado oil and check readiness by dropping water into it—if it sizzles, it's ready.

- Reduce heat to medium and cook each side for an additional 6 minutes or until reaching desired doneness.
- Pour fruit juice or vinegar over the steaks and add butter on top to melt.
