Hurry the fuck up and wash your hands.

Cook the steaks (without toying with them) for 4 minutes.

Using the tongs, flip the steaks, moving one to the six o’clock position and one to the twelve o’clock position.

Cook for 3 more minutes.

After 2 of the allotted 3 minutes, reduce the heat to just shy of medium. Make a mental note that you have ONE MINUTE left.

In the space between the steaks, toss in the butter, thyme, and garlic. Don’t spend any time dicking around, because every second matters when you’re cooking steaks.

When the butter melts, press down on the skillet’s handle (using the hot pad, so you don’t get burned). This will cause the butter to run to the three o’clock position of the skillet (which is void of anything because of here you’ve placed the steaks).

Using the spoon that you’ve placed within arm’s reach, spoon the butter/thyme/garlic over the top of each steak a few times.

Three times should suffice.

If you have your respective shit together, a minute should have passed by now.

Slide the skillet away from the burner. Immediately transfer the steaks to a plate with the tongs.

Let the steaks sit for 5-7 minutes. This is a must. During this time, turn off the oven and remove the potatoes.

Place one potato beside each steak. Once you’ve reached the next to the last section of this book, you’ll know how to make my bacon Brussel sprouts. Adding those would make one hell of a good meal.

Enjoy.
