For a richer sauce, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of salt to the sauce as it simmers. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. A smoky chipotle hot sauce would also be delicious. Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steaks. This will lower the pan temperature and prevent a good sear. Cook in batches if necessary. Resting the steaks for a few minutes after searing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Steaks: Place each steak between two sheets of heavy plastic wrap (or inside a resealable freezer bag) on a solid surface. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound each steak to a uniform 1/4-inch thickness. Discard the plastic, and generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Make the Barbecue Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the beef broth, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and a pinch of black pepper. Add the cold butter to the bowl, but do not stir at this point. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Sear the Steaks: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Wait until the oil begins to shimmer and almost smoke (about 1 minute). Carefully place the steaks into the hot pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear for 45 to 60 seconds on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a more well-done steak. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest on a plate. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Finish the Sauce: Pour the barbecue butter sauce mixture into the same skillet. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir occasionally until the butter is fully melted and emulsified into the sauce. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Serve: Spoon the luscious barbecue butter sauce generously over the rested steaks. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Jun 1, 2025The key is to really get the pan hot before searing the steaks. That's how you get that perfect crust.
