well     browned     and     charred     in  spots,  about   30  seconds
longer. Using tongs, place one steak on top of the other,
then stand them on one edge, and hold against the hot
pan to crisp up the fat; continue all the way around the
edges. Transfer to a wire rack set on a rimmed baking
sheet and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Set the pan aside.



  1.  When    the steaks  have    rested, add the shallot,    garlic, and

    herbs to the skillet, increase the heat to high, and cook
    until aromatic and lightly smoking, about 30 seconds.



  2. Pour the hot pan drippings over the steaks. Transfer the
    steaks to a large serving plate and transfer the drippings
    from the baking sheet to a small warmed pitcher. Serve
    immediately, with the pitcher of drippings on the side.
