Cooking Instructions:
  1. Start by taking your top chuck blade steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking. Pat the steaks dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat your cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering. Sear the seasoned steaks for about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Flip the steaks and add diced garlic and whole garlic cloves to the pan. Add butter, allowing it to melt and baste the steaks with the garlic butter.
  4. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
  5. Remove from heat and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the steaks. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with roasted garlic and pan juices.
