This Steak Recipe is practically guaranteed to become one of your favorite ways to prepare steak! It’s so easy and the end results are simple yet so incredibly delicious. It doesn’t take much when you start with a good steak, just a bit of butter and garlic (and thyme if you’ve got it) and you’ve got a steak people will remember.
An easy, straight forward method that uses basic ingredients to cook an excellent steak! A recipe everyone in the whole family will love. Works great with Ribeye or New York strip steak, use what you prefer or what's on sale. If you don't have the thyme try rosemary or just omit it altogether you'll still have a delicious steak.
Let steaks rest at room temperature 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (you want to let it get hot oil should be shimmering near smoking, preheating should take about 3 minutes if using a gas stove, longer for electric).
Place steaks in skillet and using metal tongs press down over top surface of steaks to ensure the entire bottom surface is making direct contact with skillet.
Let cook until browned on bottom, about 3 minutes.
Flip and continue to cook until steak is about 10 degrees away from desired doneness, approximately 3 minutes longer.
Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, garlic and thyme.
Using an oven mitt grasp pan and tilt pan so butter pools to one side, spoon butter over steaks and continue to cook until steaks registers desired doneness (see notes below for temps, keep in mind they'll rise about 5 more degrees of heat), about 1 minute longer.
Transfer to plates. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
