Steak perfectly cooked and pan seared to a perfect medium rare

The Perfect Steak

Ingredients:

Let meat come to room temperature before cooking (very important)
Place heavy bottom pan on medium heat
Season both sides generously with salt and pepper
When pan starts to just steam (or lightly smoke) add olive oil
Place meat in pan laying them away from you ( to prevent hot oil splatter on you)
Sear both sides for about a minute each, then sear the side and finally render out the fat
place garlic and thyme and butter in pan and ladle the mixture over the top, turning it every minute to assure even cooking
When the steak is at the temperature you want (rare, medium rare, medium or well) remove to cutting board to rest
ENJOY!!
