Crying Tiger Buttered Steak

STEP 1Place the ingredients for the crying tiger butter into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. Alternatively, mix by hand with a fork. STEP 2Transfer the butter to a sheet of baking paper. Fold the baking paper over the butter and roll to form a cylinder. Twist the ends. Place in the freezer until firm. STEP 3 Preheat the oven to 100°C/200°F. STEP 4Generously season the steak with salt. STEP 5Heat a frying pan over high heat. When it’s hot, drizzle with oil and then add the steak. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning often or until a good crust forms but the steak still feels soft when pressed (you should aim to take it off while it’s rare). STEP 6If your frying pan is oven-proof, transfer it into the oven to continue gently cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until almost cooked to your liking. Or transfer the steak to a baking tray and place that into the oven. STEP 7In the meantime, take the firm butter out of the freezer and slice 2 generous rounds. Place onto the steak and allow it to melt in the oven. STEP 8Remove from the oven. Rest for a couple of minutes, then serve.
