Preheat your griddle over high heat (approximately 450 degrees F). You want the griddle to be hot to get a good sear on the steaks.
Make sure that the steaks are dry and are at room temperature. Then season the steaks with the Montreal seasonings (approximately 1/2 Tbsp per steak).
Spread the oil out onto the griddle.
Once the oil is hot, place the steaks on the griddle on top of the oil. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes and do not move them to get a good sear on the steaks.
Then use tongs to gently lift and flip the steak. If the steaks are still sticking to the griddle, this means that they need more time and they are not ready to flip yet.
Flip the steaks. Then cook the steaks for 2-3 more minutes to sear the opposite side of the steaks.
Then reduce the temperature on the griddle to medium heat. Cook the steak until they are done to your preference. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check the steak temperature. The recipe notes has the internal temperature for each steak preference.
Then top each steak with approximately 1/2 Tbsp of butter and let the butter melt into the steak.
Serve warm and then enjoy!

Notes
The best way to test for doneness is by inserting an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Do this through the side, not the top of the steak.SteakDone, Rare – 120F Cool to warm red center,Medium Rare – 130F Warm red centerMedium – 140F, Hot pink centerMedium Well – 150F Mostly brown centerWell Done – 160F full brown in colorYou can use anytime of steak for this recipe.
