Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

   Season the Steak

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

   Heat the Pan

   In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat over medium-high heat until it is very hot.

   Cook the Steak

   Add the steak to the hot pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

   Add Aromatics

   During the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, and thyme to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steak.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

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