Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces T-Bone steaks
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Remove the T-Bone steaks from the fridge and let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press. Set aside.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly on each steak, ensuring full coverage.
Season each side of the steaks generously with 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt and half the freshly cracked black pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to get very hot, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the remaining olive oil (1 tablespoon) to the skillet, followed by the steaks. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving to get a golden crust.
Flip the steaks and immediately add the minced garlic, butter, and fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet.
Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and garlic mixture as they cook. Cook the second side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness (adjust cook time as desired for preferred doneness).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reads about 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (65°C) for medium-well.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, loosely tented with foil to lock in juices.
Serve the Garlic Pepper T-Bone Steaks with a lemon wedge on the side for a bright finishing touch. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
