Steps

1. 1

   Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. While waiting, preheat the oven to 450°F.

2. 2

   Begin by drying the steak thoroughly and seasoning it on both sides with kosher salt and peppercorns. In a skillet over medium heat, combine oil and 1 tablespoon of butter until the butter is melted. Add in rosemary, thyme, and garlic to the skillet, cooking them until they become fragrant which should take around 1 minute. Stir occasionally while cooking.

3. 3

   Begin by searing the steak in a skillet until it develops a beautiful brown crust, which should take roughly 3 minutes on each side. Then, transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking until reaching an internal temperature of 110°F for medium-rare doneness. This process will take approximately 5 minutes; if you prefer a medium cook, aim for a temperature of 120°F and allow an additional 10 minutes of cooking time.
