In a small bowl, mash the butter, minced garlic, and thyme together with a fork until well combined. Set this aside to top the steak later.
Pat the steak dry and season both sides with most of the salt and all of the black pepper. Heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until just starting to smoke. Place the steak in the pan and sear for 4 minutes without moving it.
Flip the steak and lower the heat to medium-high if the pan is smoking heavily. Cook for 4 minutes more for medium doneness. Transfer the steak to a plate, top immediately with the garlic butter, and let it rest for 5 minutes. Done when browned and reaches 145°F for medium.
In the same skillet used for the steak, add the green beans, water, and the remaining pinch of salt. Cover and steam for 3 minutes. Remove the lid and sauté for 2 minutes until the water has evaporated and the beans are tender. Toss with the lemon juice. Done when bright green and tender-crisp.
