Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Pat the beef steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Add the seasoned steak to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms. Flip the steak and add the butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan.

  4. 4

    Baste the Steak

    As the steak cooks on the second side, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and juices for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your preferred doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Side Dishes

  1. 6

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    Boil peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 7

    Cook the Green Beans

    Steam or boil the green beans for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
