Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• sea salt to taste
• sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons truffle oil
• 4 (6 ounce) New York strip steaks
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.125 truffle, thinly shaved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Season steaks with sea salt and pepper.

Step 5

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

Step 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 at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare.

Step 7

Let steaks rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

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