- 1 tablespoons olive oil

Method
Step 1
Bring the steaks to room temperature about 1 hour before cooking. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides
Step 3
Add olive oil to a large cast iron skillet and heat over high until it smokes. Add the steaks to the skillet, and do not touch them until you see the edges turning brown. 3 to 4 minutes
Step 4
Wait do NOT TOUCH it 🙂 it needs to sear
Step 5
With cooking tongs, gently touch the steaks; if they move freely, then turn them over and cook the other side until you touch them with the cooking tongs, and they move freely in the skillet. 1 to 2 minutes
Step 6
Once both sides are beautifully seared, stand up the steak on one side and then on the other with your tongs. You want to sear all sides beautifully.
Step 7
Turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and butter to the skillet.
Step 8
Holding the handle of your skillet once the butter has melted, slightly tilt your skillet and start spooning the butter, basting, over your steaks. Continue basting your steaks for 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the steaks and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them. Sprinkle some Fleur de Sel over the steak before slicing or enjoying it, but of course, this is optional.
