Ingredients
Scale

Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Steaks: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and pat them dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until a crust forms.
