Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the dried porcini mushrooms and crushed pink peppercorns. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse powder. Set aside.
- Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned ribeye steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and immediately press the porcini mushroom and pink peppercorn mixture onto both sides of the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Return the crusted steaks to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
- In a bowl, combine the softened butter, truffle oil, chopped chives, minced garlic, and parsley (if using). Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
- Once cooked, transfer the ribeye steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and place them on serving plates. Top each steak with a generous dollop of truffle chive butter. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
For a more intense flavor, let the truffle chive butter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
