1. Pat the chuck steak thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
2. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking lightly.
3. Carefully place the steak in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. A dark, crispy crust should form.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Tilt the pan and continuously spoon the melted butter over the steak for 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
