First things first, take the steaks out of the fridge at least 30-60 minutes before cooking to allow them to come closer to room temperature. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels and season generously with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
While your steak is coming to temp, melt the unsalted butter over low heat or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, chives, thyme, Dijon mustard, red pepper flakes, sweet paprika, and fresh lemon juice. Keep it warm, but not simmering.
Place a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat and add your high-smoke point oil. Ensure the pan is smoking hot before adding the steak.
Carefully place the seasoned steaks into the hot pan. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.
After searing, reduce the heat to medium and add a tablespoon or two of the warm Cowboy Butter to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter for another 2-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Loosely tent them with foil and let them rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
Once rested, slice your steak against the grain and spoon any remaining Cowboy Butter over the sliced steak. Serve immediately.
