Season the porterhouse steak generously with finishing salt and black pepper on both sides, patting it in.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add safflower oil, checking the temperature with an infrared thermometer until it reaches around 400°F.

Carefully place the steak in the skillet, laying it away from you, and sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it.

Flip the steak and sear the other side for about 3 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add thyme, rosemary, and about 6 cloves of garlic to the skillet along with almost a stick of butter.

Baste the steak with the melted butter and herbs for about 1 minute.

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 450°F and cook for 8-12 minutes, depending on desired doneness.

Remove the steak from the oven and cover it with foil, letting it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
