Instructions

Step 1: Pat steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while preheating the skillet.
Step 2: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add 2 tbsp olive oil. Place steaks in the skillet and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes until deep golden brown.
Step 3: Flip steaks, add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1 tsp fresh thyme to the skillet. Tilt pan and spoon butter mixture over steaks for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant and butter turns golden.
Step 4: Transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F oven and roast for 5-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare. Remove and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
