Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) Chuck eye steak
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary sprig
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, smashed

Directions

Step 1

Remove the chuck eye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better sear.

Step 3

Season both sides of each steak generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gently press the seasonings into the meat to help them adhere.

Step 4

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the surface evenly.

Step 6

Carefully place the steaks in the skillet and sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes on the first side until a deep brown crust forms.

Step 7

Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprig, and smashed garlic to the skillet.

Step 9

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks continuously with the melted butter and aromatics for about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer for desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium). Cook for an additional minute or two if necessary.

Step 11

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 12

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
