Don't boil your steaks. Use bacon fat or clarified butter.
Season with salt and put it in the fridge for 2 hours, take it out and dry it with paper towel.
Add crushed black peppercorn on both sides and rest at room temp for 30 minutes.
Heat your (cast) iron pan to a good 365ºF (185ºC) and drop your steak and don't touch it until caramelized, then flip it, add crushed garlic cloves and thyme (fresh if possible).
Use a spoon to sear it with its juice/butter/bacon fat and let it rest for a good 8 minutes on a wooden board. Then slice it and serve with roast potatoes and green beans (sauteed in the same pan).
Yeah. Forgot to salt and pat dry later. Did that on my last and greatest pork chop recipe i posted. Just went right in, but did do cracked. I still like oil (usuy olive), er'body coming at my neck. No touchy, butter garlic herb bastey.
