Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Sear the steak for 3 minutes without moving until deeply browned; flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes. Transfer skillet to a 400°F (200°C) oven and roast for 8 minutes for medium-rare.
  3. Step 3: While steak rests, melt 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and moisture evaporates (8-10 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in thyme, parsley, remaining 1 tbsp butter, and truffle oil. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Slice steak against the grain and spoon mushroom compote over top. Serve immediately.
