#### Ingredients:

- 1 (24-ounce) rib-eye steak, 2 inches thick, at room temperature

- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- 1 tablespoon canola oil

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

- 3 garlic cloves, crushed

- 3 sprigs fresh thyme

- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

#### Directions:

1. **Prepare the Steak:**

   - Pat the sides of the steak dry with paper towels.

   - Generously season both sides of the steak with 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

2. **Preheat the Skillet:**

   - Warm a medium cast-iron frying pan over medium-high heat until very hot, about 2-3 minutes.

   - Add the canola oil to the skillet.

3. **Sear the Steak:**

   - Place the seasoned steak in the center of the skillet.

   - Cook the steak, turning every 2-3 minutes, until a dark crust forms on both sides, about 12-14 minutes in total.

4. **Add Garlic Herb Butter:**

   - Reduce the heat to medium-low.

   - Push the steak to one side of the pan.

   - Add the butter, crushed garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the opposite side of the skillet.

   - Tilt the pan toward the butter, allowing it to melt and become frothy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5. **Baste the Steak:**

   - Using caution, pour the melted butter over the steak.

   - Continue to cook the steak for an additional 1-2 minutes, turning it over once, until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

6. **Rest the Steak:**

   - Remove the skillet from the heat.

   - Allow the steak to rest for about 5 minutes before cutting into it to allow the juices to redistribute.

7. **Serve:**

   - Once rested, slice the steak against the grain into thick slices.

   - Serve the pan-seared rib-eye steak with garlic herb butter immediately.

Enjoy this delicious and flavorful steak as a hearty main course for any special occasion or weeknight dinner!
