Place meat on broiler in pan and put under gas flame. Sear each side quickly. This will re- tain juices. Reduce heat to finish cooking, rare or well done as liked. Place on warm platter with melted butter in it, season with salt on both sides. Add 2 tbls. or more of hot water to drippings for gravy, stir well and pour over steak.
