- Heat a heavy grill pan or griddle pan over high heat. Wipe hot grill or griddle with extra-virgin olive oil. Cook steaks 6 minutes on each side for medium doneness, 8 minutes for medium well.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
- Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
- Add the bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
- To serve, cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top with the onions.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: For pan-searing, choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. Ribeye, strip loin, and tenderloin are all good options.
- Season the steak properly: Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a hot skillet: Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat before adding the steak. This will help to sear the steak and create a nice crust.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the steaks in batches if necessary, so that they have enough room to sear properly.
- Cook the steak to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For a rare steak, cook to 125 degrees Fahrenheit; for a medium-rare steak, cook to 135 degrees Fahrenheit; for a medium steak, cook to 145 degrees Fahrenheit; and for a well-done steak, cook to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the steak rest before serving: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pan-seared steaks are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
