Steps

1

Set convection oven to 350
2

Trim the steak of excess fat, but leave a coating of fat around the sides of the steaks. Season the steaks with pepper.
3

Combine the salt and water to make a paste (it should be the consistency of wet sand) spread half the mixture over a half sheet tray. Lay the steaks on the tray. Spread the remaining salt over the tops of the steaks, covering the meat completely.
4

Roast the steaks for 30 minutes
5

While the steaks roast, toast the bread, and keep it warm
6

In chafing dish or large skillet, melt the butter
7

Remove the steaks from the oven, and discard the salt crust. Slice the meat, cutting against the grain on a diagonal, into 1/4 inch slices
8

Raise the heat under the melted butter so that it sizzles, but does not brown. Add the slices of steak and cook 30-60 seconds per side, or to the desired degree of doneness. Place the steak slices on the toast, spoon some butter over, and serve immediately.
