Method
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat until just smoking.
- Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the steaks and cook, without moving, for three minutes.
- Use tongs to flip the steaks over. Add the rosemary, thyme, and garlic.
- Transfer the pan to the oven for 7 minutes for a medium steak.
- Using tongs, transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
💡 Tips
- For a perfect medium-rare, reduce the oven time to 5-6 minutes.
- Letting the steaks rest is essential for juicy results—don't skip it.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
