Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
Season the steak generously and evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add a small amount of canola oil, ensuring the pan is evenly heated.
Carefully place the steak in the pan away from you to avoid oil splatters.
Wait until the steak starts to sizzle intensely and smoke slightly, indicating it is properly searing.
Check that there is an even layer of canola oil beneath the steak.
Add butter to the pan and let it melt completely.
Add fresh thyme and rosemary to the butter, then add a little more butter to enhance the flavor.
Regularly spoon the hot herb-infused butter over the steak to infuse flavor and keep it juicy.
Cook the steak until a golden-brown, crispy crust forms.
