Remove the steak from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature for even cooking.
Pat the steak completely dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the ghee, swirling to coat the pan.
Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining ghee, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak repeatedly with the melted herb ghee for 2 minutes.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to lock in the juices.
In the same skillet, toss the asparagus in the remaining pan juices and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately alongside the herb-infused asparagus.
