Step 1
Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it just begins to smoke, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving. They should develop a deep golden crust.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and herb sprigs. Tilt the pan and baste steaks continuously for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer steaks to a plate. Top immediately with shaved Parmesan while still hot. Let rest 3 minutes.
Step 6
Drizzle pan sauce over steaks. Serve immediately.
