Once the skillet is hot, add the vegetable oil.
Place the steak in the skillet, then sear it for 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a nice brown crust.
Add the garlic, butter, and thyme to the skillet. Baste the steak with the melted butter and continue cooking it for another minute or two.
Now, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the steak for about 8-10 minutes, medium-rare or longer if you prefer it well done.
