Prepare the steak
Remove steak from refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Season the steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Preheat the cast iron pan
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 3-4 minutes until very hot and smoking.
Sear the steak
Add oil to the hot pan, then carefully place the seasoned steak in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes without moving to develop a crust.
Flip and baste
Flip the steak, add butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak for 2-3 minutes.
Rest the steak
Remove steak from pan and let rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
