Heat oil in a pan and sear the steak over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side to your preferred doneness, then cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes.

Watch out: Slicing without resting lets all the juices spill out onto the plate.

In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic until browned.
