Ingredients

• 4 ribeye steaks (or other preferred steak cut)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4-8 sprigs fresh thyme (or rosemary)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking. This allows for more even cooking.
3. Rub both sides of each steak with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt.
5. Generously season both sides of the steaks with black pepper.
6. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot.
7. Add the seasoned steaks to the hot skillet.
8. Sear the steaks for 1-2 minutes until a nice crust forms.
9. Flip the steaks to the other side.
10. Sear the second side for another 1-2 minutes until a crust forms.
11. Remove the skillet from the heat.
12. Top each steak with 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
13. Add 1-2 sprigs of fresh thyme (or rosemary) to the pan.
14. Move the skillet to the preheated oven.
15. Bake the steaks for 17+ minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160-165°F (71-74°C) is achieved for well-done.
16. Remove the skillet from the oven.
17. Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
