Steaks with Truffle Butter
Description
A simple truffle butter recipe made with just 4 ingredients adds another layer of umami flavor to New York strip steaks.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
•
2 teaspoons truffle oil
•
1/8 truffle, thinly shaved
•
sea salt to taste
•
4 (6 ounce) New York strip steaks
•
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
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
When ready to cook the steaks, place a baking pan in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3
Season steaks with sea salt and pepper.
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
Remove the hot baking pan from the oven; place seared steaks into the pan.
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
Let steaks rest for 5 minutes.
8
To serve, dab 1 tablespoon truffle butter on top of each steak.
