• Take the steaks out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.

While the steaks come to room temperature, make your garlic thyme butter.

• Mix 8 tablespoons of room temperature butter with 2 garlic cloves that have been grated or pressed through a garlic press, and the minced thyme.
• Mix until well combined.
• Spoon the garlic butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Twist both ends tight and then keep it in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Prepare the steaks

• Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and then season both sides generously with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning blend.
• Place the steaks on a rimmed baking sheet and place into a 250° oven.
• Cook the steaks for about 45 minutes to an hour, using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature often, until they are 5-10° below your desired doneness. See notes below.
• Once done, allow the steaks to rest for about 15 minutes.

Grill the steaks

• Turn your gas grill to the highest setting. Allow it to get hot while the steaks rest.
• After 15 minutes, put the steaks on the hot grill to sear the outside. About 60 seconds per side. Remember, the steaks are already cooked at this point. We are just trying to get a crusty exterior.
• Take the steaks off of the grill, slice the desired amount of hte garlic thyme butter, and put it on top of the hot steaks allowing it to melt into the meat.
• The steaks have already rested, so now all that is left to do is enjoy!
