Heat 12" ovenproof skillet on high. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp EACH of salt and pepper. Add oil to pan and swirl to coat bottom evenly. When oil shimmers and is almost smoking, add steaks.

Cook 2 min. With tongs, lift each steak from pan and put back down on SAME side. Cook 1 minute longer, then turn steaks over. Transfer pan to lowest rack of oven and roast for 4 minutes.

Carefully add butter and thyme to skillet. Baste steak with melted butter. Roast 2-3 minutes longer for medium-rare, or until desired done-ness.

Remove pan from oven and baste again. Transfer steaks to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.

Slice steaks against the grain at an angle. Spoon steak juices on top and serve with apple relish.
