2 steaks Ribeye or New York strip about 1 ¼-inches thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic peeled and smashed

Instructions

Let steaks rest at room temperature 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
