- ½ cup of butter at room temperature

- 1 tsp of white truffle oil
Directions:

- Pat the steak dry with a paper towel, then season with salt and pepper on both sides. Add the steaks to the heated skillet, cooking for about 60 seconds per side to sear.
- Remove the skillet from the stovetop, cover with aluminum foil, and allow the steaks to rest for about 5 minutes
- To serve, slice the steaks and transfer to plates. Top with caramelized onions and a generous slice of the truffle butter.
