Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the steaks and sear without moving for 4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
  3. Step 3: Flip the steaks, add 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, and 1 tablespoon chopped thyme to the skillet, then spoon the melted butter mixture over the steaks for 2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (medium-rare) and the garlic smells fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Transfer steaks to a plate and tent loosely with foil to rest while you prepare the vegetables: toss 2 cups of carrot coins, 1 cup of zucchini half-moons, and 1 cup of cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a baking sheet, then roast at 425°F for 15 minutes until vegetables are golden and tender.
