Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Set 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking.

Add butter and heat until melted, swirling pan to coat. Add scallion whites, garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Sprinkle remaining salt, cumin, chili powder, and pepper on both sides of each steak. Clean out the cast-iron skillet, and then place it over high heat. Add canola oil and heat until smoking. Add steaks and cook without moving until crust is formed, about 3 minutes. Flip steaks and cook 3 minutes longer. Transfer to oven and continue cooki until instant read thermometer inserted into center or steak registers 130 degrees F. Transfer to plate, tent with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice steaks 1/4 inch thick, top with salsa, and sprinkle with the green scallion and cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
