Shell steak, also known as a bone-in strip steak, is a good cut to pan-fry since it has less fat on it than something like a ribeye. Butter, drippings, and a little water make up the simple pan sauce.

ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

4 shell steaks (each 1/2 pound and 3/4" thick)
coarse salt
ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup water
watercress, for garnish

directions

Season steaks (each 1/2 pound and 3/4" thick) with coarse salt and ground pepper.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, if needed, cook steaks 7 to 8 minutes for medium rare, turning once. Transfer to plates.

Remove skillet from heat and add water. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Strain pan sauce, if desired.

Serve at once; spoon sauce over steaks. Garnish with watercress.
