1
Remove the Wagyu ribeye from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes before cooking.
2
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Evenly season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Let sit 10-15 minutes to allow seasoning to adhere.

3
Preheat a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over high heat until the surface is very hot and just starting to smoke.
4
Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil and swirl to coat the pan.
5
Carefully lay the steak in the pan and sear without moving for 1.5-2 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms.
6
Flip the steak and sear the other side for 1.5-2 minutes.
7
Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons butter, 2 thyme sprigs, and the optional 1 crushed garlic clove. Tilt the pan and baste the steak with melted butter for 1-2 minutes, spooning over the top.
8
Transfer the steak to a resting rack or plate and let rest for 5-8 minutes to redistribute juices.
9
Optional: finish with a light pinch of finishing salt before slicing and serving.
