- Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until it’s very hot.
- Place the steaks in the skillet; cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Halfway through cooking, add the butter, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Continuously baste the steaks with the flavorful mixture as the butter melts.

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness—aim for 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary. Experiment with different herbs for varied flavor profiles.
