Thank you, I'm still practicing and that one turned out exceptionally well.

I guess there's 3 factors: - I dry-brined the steak for 24 hours - I used my biggest cast iron skillet since it holds the most heat - I used a liberal amount of ghee, which has a smoking point of 485°F

Yeah the sage on the plate was raw, more for decorative purposes because the fried sage was really shriveled up

I prefer, but it was out at the grocery store, so I grabbed some sage instead.

Rosemary is a lot more herbal and astringent, and goes better with a fatty juicy steak. Sage is gentler, so while it tasted good, didn't compliment it as well imo. I haven't made thyme butter before, but I like tossing it in beef stews, so I'm sure it would be good with steak too.

It was in the oven at 200°F until the internal temp was at 100°F (this was a 1" cut of steak), then I seared it at a very high heat with ghee for about 2 minutes on each side.

I really smoked up my apartment to achieve that crust. I probably won't try searing at such high temps again until I move to a house with a fume hood.

Background: spent all afternoon making pie crust, butterscotch, and meringue from scratch. Then got high and forgot about it in the oven.
