Pan-Seared New York Steak with Garlic and Herbs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 oz) New York or Ribeye steak Metropolitan Market beef New York steak
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil Essential Everyday Pure Vegetable Oil
• A few sprigs of fresh thyme
• 5 roasted garlic cloves from the Met Market Olive Bar or 3 unpeeled large garlic cloves, lightly crushed garlic
• 2 Tbsp butter Wild Harvest organic unsalted butter

Directions:

1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and steak. Sear until a brown crust forms on the steak, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, turn steak over and add the herb sprigs and garlic to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, until the steak is well browned. Add the butter and cook for another 2 minutes, frequently tilting the pan so the melted butter pools and spooning the butter over the steak as it finishes cooking. The time given is for medium-rare, increase time if a more well-done steak is desired.
3. Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest 6-8 minutes. Slice steak and divide between two plates, delicious drizzled with a little herb butter from the pan.
