Grilled T-Bone Steak

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Heat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6).

Step 2: Prepare the Griddle Pan

• Place an ovenproof griddle pan on high heat to get it very hot.

Step 3: Season the Steak

• Season the T-bone steak generously on both sides.
• Rub both sides with the crushed garlic cloves, thyme, and ½ tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4: Char the Steak

• Once the pan is hot, add the steak.
• Char the underside for 2 minutes, or until you see griddle lines forming.

Step 5: Brown the Other Side

• Flip the steak over to brown the other side.
• Rub the top with more thyme, then place the thyme and garlic on top of the meat.

Step 6: Render the Fat

• After browning, set the thyme and garlic aside.
• Use tongs to hold the steak upright, cooking the fatty side for a few minutes until it becomes soft and tender instead of gristly.

Step 7: Finish Cooking in the Oven

• Lay the steak flat again, placing the reserved thyme, garlic, and 50g of butter on top.
• Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the meat reaches 62-65°C on a probe thermometer (or to your desired doneness).

Step 8: Rest and Serve

• Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5-6 minutes.
• Serve it on a board or large plate in the center of the table for everyone to enjoy.
