Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
Preheat the oven broiler on low.
In a bowl whisk together the ingredients for the dressing until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Make the croutons: Toss the bread cubes with oil and season with salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Broil, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Then set aside.
Season the steaks generously on both sides with steak seasoning.
Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottom non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the oil.
Place the steak into the pan and sear well on all sides to get a nice char. Once nicely charred, lower the heat as needed so the steak cooks without burning the outside. Continue cooking the steaks until they reach your desired temperature using a thermometer (see below).If you prefer a more well-done temperature, it is recommended to finish the steak in a 350°F (176°C) oven so that it cooks evenly and doesn't burn. Remove the steak from the heat and allow it to rest. Add the garlic, butter, and thyme to the pan. Saute until the garlic is golden brown. Then remove the pan from the heat.
While the steak is resting, make the sauteed tomatoes and garlic toast.
Heat the oil in a saute pan on medium-high heat. Saute the tomatoes and garlic until nicely blistered and somewhat softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the bread. Then spread with butter and minced garlic. Top with cheese and place under the oven broiler until melted.
Toss the lettuce and croutons with the dressing until coated well. Season with fresh cracked pepper to taste if desired.
Slice the steak against the grain and drizzle the butter and garlic from the pan over top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix together the ingredients for the sparkling lemon water. Serve over ice if desired.
Serve the steak with sautéed tomatoes, salad, bread, and sparkling lemon water.
