How to Make Butter-Basted Steak with Thyme
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and place them at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Sear the steaks in the hot skillet without moving them for 4–5 minutes.
- Flip the steaks carefully using tongs to avoid losing those delicious juices.
- Add the butter, fresh thyme, and crushed garlic (if using) to the skillet immediately after flipping the steaks.
- Baste the steaks by tilting the skillet slightly, drizzling the melted butter over them for an additional 3–5 minutes.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5–10 minutes.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve them with the pan juices drizzled on top.
