    Ingredients

    • Two 4-6 oz steaks
    • 2 T approved oil
    • Salt & pepper, to taste

    • 2 tsp fresh thyme
    • 2 tsp fresh rosemary
    • 1 tsp lemon juice

    Directions

    1

    Make the Herb Butter: in a small bowl add butter, thyme, rosemary, salt, and lemon juice. Using a spoon, mix the ingredients together.

    2

    Place butter mixture in a sheet of plastic wrap and roll the butter into a log. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, until butter hardens.

    3

    Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

    4

    Place a large 10″ cast iron skillet in the oven. Heat for 5 minutes.

    5

    In the meantime, season both sides of the steak with oil, salt, and pepper.

    6

    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.

    7

    Flip the steaks with tongs to sear on the other side for another 45 seconds.

    8

    Immediately place skillet in the oven and cook (at 500 degrees) for 2 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove skillet from the oven. (this will be medium rare, if you like it more well down cook it another minute on each side)

    9

    Cover the skillet with foil and let steaks sit for 2 minutes.

    Serve. Top with herb butter and a lemon wedge.
