Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Crush the Peppercorns

    Using a mortar and pestle or a rolling pin, crush the black peppercorns until they are coarsely ground.

  3. 3

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and the crushed black peppercorns on both sides.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is achieved.

  5. 5

    Add Flavor

    In the last minute of cooking, add butter, garlic cloves (smashed), and fresh thyme to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak repeatedly.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
