Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving. They should look golden-brown with a crust.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, roasted garlic, and cherry tomatoes to the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Tilt the pan and spoon the foaming butter over the steaks for 3 minutes until garlic is fragrant.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer steaks and tomatoes to plates, sprinkle parmesan and fresh herbs, then drizzle with pan butter.

Tools you’ll need
