Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat steaks dry and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
Add 1 tbsp butter, garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Baste steaks with melted butter for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer skillet to oven and roast steaks for 4-6 minutes for medium-rare (or desired doneness). Remove steaks and rest under foil.
Place skillet back on stovetop over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, scraping up browned bits.
Add beef broth and simmer until reduced by half, about 4-5 minutes. Whisk in Dijon mustard and remaining 1 tbsp butter for a silky sauce.
Steam or blanch green beans until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Toss with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Serve steaks topped with pan sauce and sprinkle with parsley. Arrange green beans on the side.
