- Step 4: Baste with Butter and Aromatics: After turning the steak for the first time, add the 50g butter, 2 sprigs of thyme, and 1 crushed garlic clove to the pan. Cook for one minute. To baste, tilt the pan towards you until the butter collects at the bottom, then repeatedly spoon the butter mixture over the steak.1
- Step 5: Rest: Remove the steak from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Do not skip this step! Resting allows the meat fibers to relax and reabsorb their juices, ensuring a juicy steak when sliced.2
- Step 6: Serve: Cut the steak into strips, season lightly if necessary, and serve with your choice of side dishes and sauce.
