Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear. Add the steak to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Flip the steak and let it cook for 2 more minutes
Add the butter, rosemary, thyme, and garlic to the pan. Be sure to spread them evenly throughout the pan. As the butter melts, tilt the pan and spoon it over the steaks (this is called basting). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting every 20 seconds or so.
Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve warm.
