📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring to room temp: Take the steak out of the fridge ⏱️ 30 minutes prior to bring to room temperature.
2
Dry steaks: Pat dry with paper towels.
3
Heat skillet: Heat oil in a heavy based skillet over high heat until it is very hot - you should see smoke!
4
Season: Sprinkle each side of the steak generously with salt and pepper, then immediately place in the skillet.
Salt and pepper
5
Sear Side 1: Cook for 2 - 2.⏱️ 5 minutes until you get a great crust, then turn.
6
Garlic Butter: Leave for ⏱️ 1 minute, then push steaks to one side and toss in butter, garlic and thyme. BE CAREFUL - the thyme will sputter!
7
Baste: As soon as the butter is melted, continuously spoon the butter over the steak until it's cooked to your liking - ⏱️ 2 minutes in total for the 2nd side for medium rare (52C/125F, chart below for other doneness temps)

Basting also renders fat on the side of the steak – use tongs to sear the edges at the end if you want it browned more.
9
Rest: Transfer steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil, rest for 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes.

Serve steak with a bit of the butter from the skillet drizzled on top. Pictured in post with Crispy Smashed Potatoes.
