Method
- Pat the steak dry and season generously. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking and add the oil.
- Sear the steak in a single layer, in two batches, 1 to 2 minutes per side, until deeply browned. Remove to a plate.
- Lower the heat, add the butter and garlic, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the thyme.
- Return the steak and toss to coat. Finish with parsley.
Chef’s notes
- A very hot pan and no crowding are the secrets to a good crust.
- Pull the steak when it is just under your preferred doneness; the butter finishes it.
