Pat the steak dry and makes sure that it is thoroughly free of moisture
Generously sprinkle each side of the steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Put some oil in a cast-iron skillet pan then heat it over medium-high heat. When the oil is heated, add the steaks, firmly press them down (this will assist in getting a good sear on the steak), then cook for 2 minutes.
After the steak has been cooked for two minutes, add the garlic cloves, butter, and thyme and continue to cook.
Cook for an extra 3 minutes before tossing the steak over to the other side. Additional four minutes of cooking time should be added. It is important to make sure that the steaks are seared on all edges and sides as well.
Bring the temperature to medium-low. Overtop steaks with the remaining butter mixture. Keep doing the spooning move and cook until the thermometer displays a temperature five minutes lower than the desired end temperature. While the steak is resting, it will continue to cook by an additional 5 degrees.
Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
