Ingredients

• 1 pound Flat iron steak
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 6 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Take the flat iron steak out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 2

Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Step 3

Season the steak generously on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Mince two of the garlic cloves and smash the other two using the side of a knife.

Step 5

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 6

When the oil is shimmering and just beginning to smoke, place the steak in the skillet. Do not move it for about 3-4 minutes to form a good crust.

Step 7

Flip the steak and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust according to desired doneness.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter, minced garlic, smashed garlic, and thyme sprigs to the skillet.

Step 9

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter and aromatics, cooking for another 1 minute.

Step 10

Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately with a drizzle of the garlic-thyme butter from the skillet.
