Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 T-Bone steaks
- 2 tablespoons Coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
Remove the T-Bone steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Press the seasoning gently into the meat to adhere.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Carefully place the T-Bone steaks in the hot skillet. Sear them undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on one side, until a crust forms.
Flip the steaks and reduce the heat to medium-high. Sear the other side for 3-4 minutes.
Add the unsalted butter, whole garlic cloves (slightly smashed), and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan.
Using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics for an additional 2-3 minutes. Tilt the pan to collect the butter while basting.
Check the internal temperature of the steaks with a meat thermometer: 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium, or 145°F (63°C) for medium-well.
Once the steaks have reached your desired doneness, transfer them to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the steaks warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
