Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once it is very hot, add in the steaks. Sear for 1-2 minutes or until you get a nice crust. The hotter the pan, the faster the crust will form.

Step 4

Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side.

Step 5

Remove from the heat and top each steak with a tablespoon of butter. Add the thyme to the pan.

Step 6

Bake for 10-15 minutes, until desired temperature is achieved.

Step 7

Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving with more butter.
