- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add avocado oil to the hot skillet.

Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. For a 1-inch thick steak, this usually means about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and fresh thyme to the skillet. As the butter melts, tilt the pan and spoon the melted herb butter over the steaks continuously for 1-2 minutes to infuse flavor.

Remove steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.

While the steaks are resting, prepare the asparagus. In a medium bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus spears with olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Add the seasoned asparagus to the same skillet used for the steaks (no need to clean it, the residual butter and steak drippings will add flavor). Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
⏱️ 7 min

Slice the rested steaks against the grain. Serve immediately with the sautéed garlic asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the steak.
