Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry the 12 oz Ohio strip steak and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add the steak to the pan and sear for 4 minutes on the first side without moving, until a brown crust forms.
Step 4: Flip the steak and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Step 5: Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, and 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary to the pan; spoon the melted butter over the steak repeatedly for 1 minute.
Step 6: Remove the steak from the pan, drizzle with 1 tsp lemon juice, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
