2
Preheat a 12-inch cast iron skillet with vegetable oil over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. The oil should be shimmering and nearly smoking.
3
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
4
Place the steaks in the skillet, cooking until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Use metal tongs to press down on the steaks, ensuring full contact with the skillet.
5
Flip the steaks and cook for another 3 minutes.
6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add unsalted butter, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
7
Tilt the skillet so that the butter pools to one side. Spoon the melted butter mixture over the steaks, continuing to cook until they reach your desired doneness, about 1 minute longer. Adjust cooking time for thicker steaks.
8
Transfer the steaks to plates and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
