Don’t start searing your steak just yet. Instead, remove your steak from its packaging and season it with salt and pepper. Rub the seasonings into the meat using your hands and set the steak aside on a cutting board or plate.
Next, place a frying pan with a nonstick surface on a burner on high heat. Once properly hot, add the butter and turn the pan from side to side to coat the bottom with the butter. This will stop the steak from sticking to the surface.
After the butter has coated the bottom of your pan, add your steak and cook it for four minutes per side or eight minutes in total.
If needed, shake your pan once in a while to move the steak around and stop it from sticking.
When you turn your steak for the first time, add the thyme leaves and make sure that they rub on and around the meat.
After both sides have cooked for four minutes each, place the steak on a plate and cover it with tinfoil. Be sure to only cover it loosely — you don't want to cover the steak too tightly as you'll prevent it from cooking properly. Let the steak rest for about 10 minutes,
Set aside in a serving platter and serve the steak.
