- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons high-heat oil (like canola or avocado)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves (smashed)
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
Instructions
- Prepare the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season the Steaks: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat a heavy skillet over high heat, add oil, and sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Finish Cooking: Reduce heat, add butter, garlic, and herbs. Baste the steaks with butter for 1-2 minutes. Check doneness with a thermometer.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steaks from the skillet, let them rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
