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.

Looks fantastic. Love the sear. People have been telling me sage is good with steak, what’s your opinion on sage vs thyme, rosemary?

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.

There is a misconception that crust can only be achieved from a ridiculously hot pan. If the surface is dry, and a little weight is added, you can still get crust from a reasonably hot pan that isn't smoking.

So did you do the aging yourself? I want to try it...
