Instructions
Prepare the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Set aside.
Season the steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the pan: Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.
Cook the steaks: Place the steaks in the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time for desired doneness.
Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Top with garlic herb butter: Slice the steaks if desired and top with a generous spoonful of garlic herb butter. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Room Temperature: Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
- Doneness Check: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy—130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, 150°F for medium-well.
- Butter Tip: For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or Worcestershire sauce to the garlic herb butter.
- Resting Time: Always let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
- Sides: Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
