03 - 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Garlic Butter

05 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Position a wire rack over a baking sheet.

03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
04 - Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
05 - Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting time if preferred.
06 - Transfer steaks to a plate. Top each with a generous spoonful of garlic butter and rest for 5 minutes. Serve alongside crispy fries and extra garlic butter.
