1. Preheat the Cast Iron Skillet:

    - Place your cast iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Let it heat up for about 5            minutes until it's very hot.

​

2. Season the Steaks:

    - Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides                      generously with salt and black pepper.

​

3. Sear the Steaks:

    - Add olive oil to the hot skillet. Carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes          on one side without moving them. This creates a nice crust.

    - Flip the steaks and add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Spoon some of            the hot oil and herbs over the steaks while they cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for                  medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness.

 

4. Add Butter for Basting:

    - Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Tilt the skillet slightly so the butter pools to one              side. Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter, garlic, and herbs for about 1-2        minutes. This adds rich flavor to the steaks.

 

5. Rest the Steaks:

    - Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for            about 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.

​

6. Slice and Serve:

    - Slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices. Arrange them on plates, drizzling any              remaining pan juices, garlic, and herbs over the top.

 

7. Enjoy:

    - Serve your garlic and herb cast iron skillet steak with your favorite side dishes and enjoy a             restaurant-quality meal right at home!
