Choose a high-quality, well-marbled New York strip steak about 3.5 cm thick.
Let the steak sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Generously season the steak with coarse sea salt and lightly sprinkle black pepper on all sides, focusing on the top and edges.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of corn oil and wait until it begins to shimmer.
Place the steak in the hot oil and sear it on one side for 3-4 minutes without moving or flipping it, allowing a crust to form.
Lift the edge to check the color, then let it cook a little longer until a deep golden-brown crust develops.
Stand the steak upright on its fat cap side to render and crisp the fat.
Sear the other side of the steak in the same way until nicely browned.
Add crushed garlic cloves, a sprig of thyme, and a knob of butter to the pan during the last stage of cooking. Spoon the melted butter over the steak to enhance the flavor.
