Ingredients

• 2 T-Bone steaks
• 2 tablespoons Coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 4 Fresh thyme sprigs

Directions

Step 1

Remove the T-Bone steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks generously with kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper. Press the seasoning gently into the meat to adhere.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Carefully place the T-Bone steaks in the hot skillet. Sear them undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on one side, until a crust forms.

Step 5

Flip the steaks and reduce the heat to medium-high. Sear the other side for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter, whole garlic cloves (slightly smashed), and fresh thyme sprigs to the pan.

Step 7

Using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics for an additional 2-3 minutes. Tilt the pan to collect the butter while basting.

Step 8

Check the internal temperature of the steaks with a meat thermometer: 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium, or 145°F (63°C) for medium-well.

Step 9

Once the steaks have reached your desired doneness, transfer them to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 10

Serve the steaks warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
