Recipe: Easy Steak With Pan Sauce

Ingredients

Let the steak sit at room temperature for as long as possible before cooking and pat it dry.
Heat a dry medium skillet over medium heat and season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
Add vegetable oil to the skillet and cook the steak until browned on one side, about 5 minutes.
Flip the steak and cook until the other side is browned and the steak is medium-rare, about another 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the steak rest on a cutting board.
While the skillet cools, chop the shallot and smash the garlic cloves.
Blot the skillet with paper towels to soak up excess oil, leaving the browned bits.
Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add shallot, garlic, thyme, and cold butter, cooking until the shallot is golden brown.
Add water to the skillet and whisk to dissolve the browned bits, then whisk in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
Remove from heat, add remaining butter, and whisk until the sauce is smooth and thick.
Slice the steak against the grain and arrange on a platter, spooning the sauce over the steak before serving.
