Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Pat both sides of the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Generously season both sides of the steaks with the dry rub mixture, pressing it into the meat with your fingers.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 3-5 minutes. Add olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat.
Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently to ensure even contact with the pan.
Flip the steaks and immediately reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs to the skillet.
Tilt the skillet slightly to pool the melted butter on one side, and use a spoon to continuously baste the steaks with the butter mixture for 2-3 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the steaks with an instant-read thermometer. Aim for 125°F (medium-rare) or 135°F (medium). Adjust cooking time as needed.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes to retain juices.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with the buttery garlic-herb mixture drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
