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.
