Instructions
Take steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the steaks fat-side down for 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 3 more minutes. Add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs. Tilt the pan and spoon melted butter over the steaks for 1–2 minutes. Cook until desired doneness (130–135°F for medium-rare). Remove from skillet and let rest under foil for 8–10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve hot.
