A gorgeous steak, perfectly cooked, doesn’t need much to put it over the top. (But if you don’t have a smart thermometer, you can check the meat’s temperature using an instant-read.) As for the finishing touches, set off the juiciness of the meat with a piquant pan sauce flavored with roasted garlic and two kinds of peppercorns. While the steak rests, you’ll deglaze the pan with wine and Dijon mustard, and then whisk in butter and plenty of fresh herbs.

- Trim any large portions of excess fat from edge of steak. Season steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare remaining ingredients and preheat oven to 400°.
- Following the insertion guide on the Yummly Thermometer app, insert the thermometer horizontally into the largest muscle of the steak, avoiding bone and any pockets of fat, all the way to the black cap so the metal on the thermometer is completely covered.

Drizzle olive oil into center of skillet, set steak on top, and sear, turning once, until steak is well browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove pan from heat and stir garlic, bay leaves, and pink peppercorns into oil in pan.

- Discard bay leaves from skillet. Protecting hands, tip skillet and spoon out fat. Set skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, white wine, and mustard and cook, scraping up browned bits, until liquid is reduce by half, about 1 minute.
- Add butter, thyme, and parsley and cook, whisking constantly, until butter melts and sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and season with remaining ½ teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste).
- Slice steak and serve with pan sauce.
