Rest ribeye in room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towel. Place cast iron skillet inside the oven and preheat it to 450F. While oven is preheating brush steak with oil on one side and season with half of the seasoning.
Once oven is preheated, pull the skillet out onto the stove over medium heat. Add steak seasoned side down. Sear for 2 minutes. Brush the top with oil and season with the rest of the seasoning.
Flip on the other side and add thyme, rosemary and garlic over the top. Then carefully place skillet into the oven for 7 minutes.
Removed skillet from the oven onto a medium/low heat. Flip steak and add butter over the top. Once butter melts, tilt the skillet and using a spoon pour the melted butter over the steak for 2-3 minutes. Using a meat thermometer, check for doneness, I like to remove the steak from the skillet at 135-145F for medium well, onto a plate.
Pour the melted butter with garlic over the top. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak and enjoy with a cherry tomato salad, mashed potatoes and mango dragonfruit refresher.

If you're looking to cook meat like a pro, I've got some tips that might come in handy.

First things first, when basting your meat with butter, make sure to tilt the pan away from you to avoid any hot splatters from coming your way.
Once your meat is ready, don't be too hasty to slice it right away. Give it some time to rest so that the juices can settle and redistribute throughout the whole steak. Trust me, this makes a huge difference in the taste and tenderness of the meat.
When it's time to slice, be sure to cut against the grain, as this will make the meat less chewy and more tender. And don't worry if you don't have a cast iron skillet - any oven-safe skillet will do just fine. Although, if you do happen to have a cast iron skillet, it's the perfect way to get that delicious crust you're after!
