  Sprinkle @boneless rib-eye steaks{2%1- to 1 1/2-pound}(about 1 1/2 inches thick, trimmed) evenly on both sides with @kosher salt{2-3%teaspoons} and place on #wire rack{} set in #rimmed baking sheet{}. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least ~{1%hour} or up to 24 hours.

Pat steaks dry with #paper towels{} and sprinkle with @pepper{1 1/2%teaspoons}.

Heat #12-inch cast-iron skillet{} over medium-high heat for ~{5%minutes}.

Add @vegetable oil{1%tablespoon} to skillet and heat until just smoking.

Place steaks in skillet and cook, pressing on tops with #tongs{} occasionally to ensure even contact with pan, until lightly browned on first side, about ~{2%minutes}.

Flip steaks and cook until lightly browned on second side, about ~{2%minutes}.

Flip steaks again, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, flipping every ~{2%minutes}, until steaks are well browned and meat registers 115 to 120 degrees (for medium-rare), ~{7-12%minutes}.

Transfer steaks to #13 by 9-inch baking dish{} and tent with #aluminum foil{}.

Add @unsalted butter{6%tablespoons} to fat left in skillet and melt over medium heat.

Add @small shallots{2}(peeled and quartered through root end), @garlic cloves{3}(lightly crushed and peeled), @fresh thyme{5%sprigs}, and @fresh rosemary{2%sprigs} and cook, stirring often, until browned butter solids cling to edges of garlic and shallots are deep golden brown, ~{2-4%minutes}.

Remove skillet from heat and spoon butter sauce and aromatics over steak; tent with foil and let rest for ~{10%minutes} (do not wash skillet; set skillet on cool heatproof surface).

Transfer steaks to #cutting board{}, then return sauce and aromatics, along with any accumulated juices, to now-empty skillet.

Slice steaks on slight bias.

Return steaks to skillet, arranging aromatics around slices.

Sprinkle steaks with @lemon zest{2%teaspoons}(grated) and @flake sea salt{½%teaspoon}. Serve.
