Ingredients
Instructions
Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry.
Generously season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat until very hot.
Pour in oil and allow it to shimmer.
Place steaks in the pan and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes.
Turn steaks and sear for another 2 minutes.
Lower heat slightly. Add butter, garlic, and herbs.
Tilt the pan and spoon melted butter over the steaks for about 1 minute.
Remove steaks at desired doneness (130–135°F for medium-rare).
Transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
