Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces T-Bone steak (about 1-1.5 inches thick)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic (smashed)
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Remove the T-Bone steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature, about 30 minutes before cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better sear.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper; press the seasoning onto the surface for better adherence.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it is smoking hot, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat. Carefully place the steaks in the skillet, laying them away from you to avoid splattering.
Cook the steaks without moving them for 3-4 minutes on the first side to develop a golden-brown crust.
Flip the steaks using tongs and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet.
As the butter melts, tilt the skillet and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the rich, aromatic butter mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Check for doneness using an instant-read thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, or 155°F for medium-well.
Once the desired doneness is reached, remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-7 minutes to retain juices.
Slice the steaks against the grain, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
