1
Prepare and season
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides of each steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes to take the chill off and promote even cooking.
2
Preheat pan and oil
Place a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat until very hot. Lightly brush or rub the steaks on both sides with olive oil.
3
Sear
Carefully place the steaks in the hot skillet without crowding. Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once, until a deep caramelized crust forms.
4
Baste and finish
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan. As the butter melts, tilt the pan and baste the steaks with the butter for 1-2 minutes, until the steaks reach your desired doneness (internal temp 130-135°F / 54-57°C for medium-rare). Remove from heat.
5
Rest
Transfer steaks to a resting plate and let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
6
Finish and serve
Optional: sprinkle flaky sea salt over the rested steaks. Slice and serve with the pan juices or your preferred sides.
