Instructions
Prepare the steak
Remove the Wagyu steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for optimal cooking.
Season the steak
Generously season both sides of the steak with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat the pan
Heat a heavy-bottomed cast iron pan or stainless steel pan over high heat until very hot.
Sear the steak
Place the seasoned steak in the hot pan and sear for 2-3 minutes without moving to develop a beautiful crust.
Flip and baste
Flip the steak, reduce heat slightly, add butter, smashed garlic, and thyme. Baste the steak with the melted butter for 2-3 minutes.
Rest the steak
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Slice and serve
Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve immediately while hot.
