INSTRUCTIONS

1 Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary and thyme in small bowl. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle on both sides with seasoning mixture. Let steaks stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes.
2 Melt butter in large heavy skillet on medium-high heat. Place steaks in skillet. Sear 3 minutes on each side. Continue cooking about 4 to 6 minutes longer, flipping steaks every 2 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 125 to 130°F for medium-rare. (Reduce temperature if steaks are over-browning.)
3 Transfer to clean plate. Tent with foil and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing or serving.

Cooking Temperatures: For medium doneness, steaks should reach 135 to 140°F; for medium-well, steaks should reach 145 to 150°F; and for well-done, steaks should reach 155 to 160°F.
