Ingredients:

• 1 Tomahawk steak (at least 2 inches thick)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh thyme sprigs
• Cast iron skillet

Instructions:

1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before cooking.

2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.

5. Once the pan is hot, add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Make sure to sear the edges as well to render the fat.

6. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan along with the minced garlic and thyme sprigs. Baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon.

7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. Here are some temperature guidelines for steak doneness:

   • Rare: 125°F (52°C)
   • Medium rare: 135°F (57°C)
   • Medium: 145°F (63°C)
   • Medium well: 155°F (68°C)
   • Well done: 160°F (71°C)

8. Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

9. Serve the steak with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
