Ingredients

2 steaks ribeye, sirloin, strip
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 garlic cloves minced
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon ground mustard
Whole milk enough to cover 1" of skillet

Instructions

Rub the steak with salt, pepper, ground mustard and garlic cloves.
Let sit for 30-60 minutes.
Heat the milk and thyme over medium in a skillet, whisking constantly until it boils to avoid scalding.
Add the steaks and cook 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
Remove, let rest for 5 minutes, slice and serve.

Notes

Don’t skip the step of seasoning the steaks or letting them rest at room temperature before cooking. This is key to flavor and even cooking.
Whisk the milk constantly once it starts to boil. You don’t want it to scald or burn onto the bottom of the skillet.
If you prefer your steak medium or medium-well, you’ll need to boil them in the milk longer.
If your steaks are thick or have a bone, you will also need to boil them a little longer.
I recommend using a meat thermometer to check for doneness. (Medium-rare is 135F degrees).
Once you remove the steaks from the skillet, let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices in the steaks to redistribute.
