Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the seasoned steak to the hot pan. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.

While the steak is resting, melt the unsalted butter in a small bowl. Lightly brush both sides of each white corn tortilla with the melted butter.

Heat a separate dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the buttered tortillas one at a time (or in batches, depending on pan size) onto the hot surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until warmed through and slightly golden with a few crispy spots. Keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
