  • 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  4. Remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and place on a burner set to HIGH heat. Add steaks to the pan and sear for 45 seconds. Flip the steaks and sear on the other side for another 45 seconds.
  5. Immediately place skillet in the oven and cook (at 500°F) for 2 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove skillet from the oven. The steaks should have internal temperature of 120°F. (this will be medium rare) If you like it more well done, cook
