For the compound butter: cook the onion, mushrooms, garlic and thyme with salt and pepper in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until most of the water has evaporated (about 8-10 minutes).Tilt the pan toward you slightly and spoon the foaming butter over the steak-making sure to keep the garlic and thyme submerged in the butter so they impart their flavor. For basting (optional but highly recommended) : once the steak has been flipped, add butter to the pan along with the garlic and thyme.Cover with aluminum foil once again, rest for another 5-10 minutes then slice and serve. Add the steak and sear on each side for 2-3 minutes. Heat oil in a pan (cast iron works great) over high heat until it just starts to smoke.Remove the steak once it reaches your desired “doneness”, cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Ideally, you should use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to determine when it’s done (medium rare will be 125-130☏). For a medium rare steak, bake it on a tray for 30-40 minutes-flipping halfway to ensure even cooking.Season the steak to taste with salt and pepper (best to do this an hour or so ahead of cooking if you have the time). Then, after a 10-15 minute rest covered in aluminum foil, slice the steaks into thick pieces and arrange on a platter or cutting board before serving! If you’re serving a crowd, I’d recommend using thick steaks (2 inches or thicker is best) instead of a single steak for each person, since you likely won’t have enough space in a single pan to sear more than two or three steaks at a time. This recipe takes it to another level by pairing the steak with a flavor-packed red wine compound butter (I call it a “bordelaise” butter since it’s inspired by the classic French sauce). This low and slow cooking method is followed by a hot and fast sear-leaving you with a juicy, evenly cooked steak with a beautiful golden brown crust. If you’ve got a little extra time, reverse searing a steak (or almost any other piece of meat for that matter) is a great way to go!
