- Pat the steaks completely dry with paper towels
- Rub both sides and the edges of the steaks with kosher salt and black pepper
- Place a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat and add the avocado oil
- Once the oil shimmers, lay the steaks into the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes
- Flip the steaks and lower the heat to medium-high, adding butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme

Ensure steaks are at room temperature for even cooking.
Use a cast-iron skillet for optimal searing.
Do not skip resting the meat to retain juices.
