Instructions
For the Herbed Butter:
Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mash with a fork until combined. Scoop the herbed butter onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Roll and shape it into a thick log. Twist the ends of the paper to seal. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
For the Steak:
Leave the steak out at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to cooking. Pat the steaks down with a paper towel to dry them completely. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large, oven-proof skillet (preferably cast iron skillet), heat avocado oil over medium/high heat. Once skillet is hot, add the steaks, make sure they are not being crowded in the pan. Cook steaks 2-3 minutes per side. Place cast iron skillet into preheated oven. Continue to cook for 5-6 minutes for medium/rare. 6-7 minutes for medium. 7-9 minutes medium/well done.
Remove from oven and let steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Top with herb butter slices and serve.
