Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb Prime T-Bone Steak (680g)
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Coarse Black Pepper
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (60g)
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic, smashed
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil (30ml)

Instructions:

  1. Pat the 680g T bone completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with the kosher salt and coarse pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 45 minutes.
  2. Heat your skillet over high heat until the 30ml of avocado oil is shimmering and just starting to wispy smoke.
  3. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving the steak until a deep, dark mahogany crust forms. Flip the steak using your tongs. You should see a beautiful, even coloration across the entire surface.
  4. Immediately reduce the heat to medium. Add the 60g of unsalted butter, the 4 smashed garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, and the rosemary sprig.
  5. Tilt the pan slightly so the melting butter pools at the bottom with the aromatics. Use your large spoon to continuously pour the foaming butter over the steak.
  6. Continue basting for another 3 to 4 minutes. Check the internal temperature with your thermometer. For medium rare, you are looking for 52°C, as the temperature will rise during the rest.
  7. Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a warm plate or cutting board. Pour the remaining butter from the pan over it. Let it rest for at least 8 to 10 minutes until the juices have redistributed throughout the muscle fibers.
