Ingredients

1 rib eye steak
kosher salt
pepper freshly ground
2 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp butter
2-3 sprigs rosemary
2-3 sprigs thyme
2 cloves garlic smashed, roughly chopped

Instructions

Salt steak and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4-24 hours to allow salt to melt into the meat.
Remove steak from refrigerate. Salt and pepper both sides. Place on a baking rack placed on a foil wrapped baking sheet and place in a 250 degrees oven for 30-45 minutes or until meat reaches 125 degrees F. for a medium rare steak. For other temperatures, remove meat when it has reached 10-15 degrees below the desired end temperature.
Heat canola oil in a cast iron pan, you want the pan hot and beginning to smoke.
Place steak into pan and sear the meat on both sides, the meat will get a lovely golden brown crust on it.
Add butter, herbs and garlic into pan and allow butter to melt and begin to brown. Stir to coat herbs and garlic with butter.
Place herbs and garlic on top of steak and baste steak with melted butter.
Remove steak from pan and slice. The end temperature of the meat should be 130-135 degrees for medium rare. See above for other temperatures.
