Method
Put all the ingredients for the spice mix in a bowl and thoroughly mix.
Dry the steaks with a kitchen roll. Rub the spice mix over the steaks and put to one side.
To cook the steak, heat your pan to medium hot and put in ½ tbsp oil. Swirl the oil and add both of your steaks so they sit on the fat on the side, you may need to hold them with tongs. Leave for a couple of minutes until golden. Turn your steak so it now sits flat side down and for 3-5 minutes per side for medium. Turn the steak over and cook for another 3 minutes. Put the butter into the pan and swirl. As soon as the butter has melted start to baste the steaks continually with the butter for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to rest for 3-5 minutes.
Cut the steak into slices and serve.
