Used avocado oil on high heat, cooked 3 minutes each side and butter basted after flipping

So many things! Basically, you cooked it too long on a really hot fire. I sear each side and then move to a cooler spot to cook a very few minutes. To me, if you’re going for a well done steak, you would be better off cooking a pot roast. Steak shone no more than medium.

You didn’t lower the heat when you basted, the butter was scorched. Steaks want high heat, butter wants low heat, otherwise it burns.
FYI basting on steaks isn’t that great – but the pan sauce made from the leftover steak fond and butter is definitely a good idea. What you want to do after searing is to take the steak out to rest. Then lower the heat, and add butter to the fond when the pan is down to a low to medium low temperature. If the butter is getting brown too fast, take the pan off the heat and lower the heat. Throw in garlic cloves with the paper on and fresh rosemary, and get your butter light and nutty brown.
Grab your steaks and briefly put it in, toss a few spoons of the pan sauce on it, flip, do the same. No more than 10-15 seconds. Pour some more on top when you’re done, on a wire rack with a pan under it if you’re resting your steak that way. The butter flavor will stick to the steak the same as if you had been doing it for 1-2 minutes. Pour more of that sauce on it after slicing, if that’s your thing (which it is for me).

Man these comments are brutal. If this is really your very first time, it could have been worse (without seeing the money shot).
It looks like your steak mainly had contact with the pan around the edges. That’s why you have burned edges and a lackluster crust in the center. Make sure your steak is dry, press down on it for a bit when it goes into the pan, and don’t be afraid to flip more frequently. It looks like you may have had it on high heat for too long for each side.

“Three minutes a side” is a general rule for med-high heat on a 1” thick steak. For something that thin, a high heat cook can work, but keep the oil super light, flip it every ~20sec (yes, that much. It actually keeps the heat more evenly distributed) and yoink it somewhat quickly. Wrap it in foil with the butter on top to melt for about 3min.

Okay here’s how to do it better next time. First check the thickness of the steak the thinner the steak the less time for cooking. Second don’t make the heat too high and if you leave it on for too high too long the steak will be ruined. Third, when you flip it again lower the flame after one minute to slowly cook the steak but not over cook it. Fourth, this is when you butter baste the steak on a LOW flame. When you do it on high heat the entire time, the butter burns badly. Take it slower.

Yes. In reality, you cooked it too long too high. I’d turn the heat down.

Overnight pan searing is dangerous

Cook it above the fire, not in it.

Too much heat too long.
Too much fire for too much time.
