Steak
On a cutting board or mat, season steak on each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add tbsp. of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and press down. Once the steak has cooked for 2 minutes, add butter, garlic cloves, and thyme sprigs to the skillet. After the steak has cooked for an additional 3 minutes, using tongs, flip and cook on the other side for 4 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium, and spoon butter over the steak. Continue to do this until the temperature is 5 degrees less than the desired temperature on an instant-read thermometer. See notes below for steak doneness temperatures. The steak will cook an additional 5 degrees while it rests.
Let steak rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
