Remove the steak from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature, then pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steak evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Toss the asparagus with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then place in a pan over medium-high heat, sautéing until tender-crisp and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly.
Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes without moving it to develop a deep brown crust.
Flip the steak and immediately add the ghee, smashed garlic clove, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
Tilt the skillet slightly and use a large spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melting herb-infused ghee for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve alongside the roasted asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
