Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Steak
Take the blacklock fillet steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. This helps them cook evenly.
- 2
Season the Steak
Generously season the fillet steaks with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides. Make sure to cover the entire surface for enhanced flavor.
Cooking
- 3
Sear the Steak
In a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking. Add the seasoned fillet steaks to the pan, ensuring they are not crowded. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.

Flip and Baste
Carefully flip the steaks using tongs. Add the unsalted butter, fresh thyme, and garlic cloves to the pan. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
- 5
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Serving
- 6
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the blacklock fillet steaks against the grain and serve immediately, optionally with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
