Ingredients
- steak - 1
- neutral oil - as needed (high smoke point, for searing)
- salt - to taste (for seasoning)
- shallot - 1 (finely chopped)
- garlic - 1 clove (crushed)
- butter - to taste (a knob of)
- thyme - a few sprigs
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Heat the pan until smoking and add a touch of neutral oil.
- Season the Steak: Give the steak a generous seasoning with salt.
- Sear the Steak: Lay the steak in the pan, always away from you to avoid oil splatter. After a minute, move the steak to another side of the pan without flipping, to ensure even cooking.
- Flip the Steak: After about 2 minutes, when the steak has a nice sear, flip it over.
- Rest the Steak: Take the steak out of the pan to rest.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: Add chopped shallot to the pan and cook for a minute. Then add crushed garlic, turn the heat to low, and add a knob of butter.
- Baste the Steak: Return the steak to the pan and baste with the garlic butter, flipping every 30 seconds. Add thyme in the last minute of basting.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the steak rest for about half the time it was cooked before serving. Ensure it's juicy and medium-rare.
