- In a 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) heat 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil over moderately-high heat till warm but not smoking and sear steaks till browned, about 2 min on each side, transferring to a shallow baking pan.
- When steaks are just cold sufficient to handle, spread tops and sides with mustard and sprinkle with thyme, pepper and salt to taste. Roast steaks in middle of oven 8 min for medium-rare (coating should just begin to brown). Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand about 3 min. Cut butter into thin slices.
- Cut each steak in half horizontally. Tuck a butter slice between steak halves and top steaks with another butter slice.
- This recipe yields 4 generous servings.
