Step-by-Step Instructions

Restaurant-quality steak made simple.

01

Bring steak to room temperature

Remove steaks from the refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Let rest at room temperature.

Make the herb butter

In a small bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Mix well, season with a pinch of salt, and set aside. This compound butter will be the finishing touch.

03

Prepare truffle fries

Cut potatoes into thin matchsticks. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly. Fry at 325°F (160°C) for 4 minutes. Increase heat to 375°F (190°C) and fry again for 2-3 minutes until golden. Toss with truffle oil, Parmesan, and salt.

04

Sear the steak

Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add olive oil. Place steaks in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes without moving. Flip and add the herb butter to the pan. Tilt the pan and spoon the melting butter over the steaks continuously for 3-4 minutes.

Check temperature

For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C). For medium, 140°F (60°C). Remember the steak will continue cooking after removal. Remove from the pan and let rest on a warm plate for 8-10 minutes.

06

Slice and serve

Slice the steak against the grain into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Drizzle any resting juices over the top. Add a dollop of the herb butter, sprinkle with flaky salt, and serve alongside the truffle fries and roasted marrow bones. Serve immediately.

4 Tasty Variations

1. Peppercorn Crust

Coarsely crush black, green, and pink peppercorns and press them onto the steak before searing. Finish with a brandy-cream sauce made from the pan drippings.

2. Coffee Rub Crust

Mix 1 tablespoon of finely ground espresso with brown sugar, smoked paprika, and cocoa powder. Rub onto the steak 30 minutes before cooking for a deep, smoky crust.

3. Blue Cheese Crust

After searing, top the steak with crumbled blue cheese and panko breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter. Broil for 2 minutes until the crust is golden and bubbly.

4. Chimichurri Crust

Spread a generous layer of fresh chimichurri (parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil) over the steak before searing. The herbs form a fragrant, charred crust.
