Method
Preparation
- Remove steaks from the refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.
- Pat the steaks thoroughly dry with paper towels on all sides.
Seasoning
- Generously season both sides and the edges of the steaks with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Press the seasoning into the meat to ensure it sticks.
Searing
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it's smoking slightly.
- Add the oil and swirl to coat.
- Carefully place the steaks in the pan and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
- Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Basting
- Reduce the heat to medium-high.
- Add the butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan.
- Once the butter is foaming, tilt the pan and spoon the butter over the steaks continuously for 2-3 minutes.
- Cook until a meat thermometer reads 130-135°F for medium-rare.
Resting
- Remove steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board.
- Let the steaks rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
