Steaks with Truffle Butter

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups unsalted butter , softened
• 2 teaspoons truffle oil
• ⅛ truffle , thinly shaved
• sea salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the truffle butter: Mix butter, truffle oil, shaved truffle, and sea salt together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2. 2

   When ready to cook the steaks, place a baking pan in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. 3

   Season steaks with sea salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steaks, working in batches if necessary, and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Remove the hot baking pan from the oven; place seared steaks into the pan.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare.

7. 7

   Let steaks rest for 5 minutes.

8. 8

   To serve, dab 1 tablespoon truffle butter on top of each steak.
