Choose a thick cut steak and let it come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (about 190°C) and heat a large heavy skillet on the stove until it begins to smoke.
Drizzle each steak with olive oil, rubbing it evenly over the top, sides, and bottom.
Mix together 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon white pepper to create a seasoning blend.
Generously season both sides of the steaks with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat, especially given the thickness of the steaks.
Make garlic butter by combining 2 tablespoons softened butter with 1 to 2 crushed garlic cloves, mixing together with a fork.
Place the steaks directly onto the hot skillet without adding extra oil and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Use tongs to hold the steak on its edge and sear the fat strip until rendered and crispy to avoid chewiness.
After searing, transfer the steaks to the preheated oven to finish cooking.
Bake steaks for about 5 minutes per centimeter of thickness, or use a meat thermometer to cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (around 54°C) for medium doneness.
