Start cooking the steak by heating a cast iron pan. Add cooking oil and butter. Once the butter melts, put the steak into the pan. Sear it for 2 minutes. Add the rosemary and thyme directly to the oil so that it will be infused with the aroma and flavor of the herbs. Continue cooking for 2 minutes. Remove the herbs and discard.

Take the steak off the pan and place it on a clean plate. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
