Steps:
- Place a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring the steak to room temperature.
- When the oven reaches temperature, remove the skillet and place on the range over high heat for 5 minutes. Coat the steak lightly with oil and sprinkle both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper.
- Immediately place the steak in the middle of the hot, dry skillet. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)

Steps:
- For the sauce: In a saute pan, add the tomatoes, barbeque sauce, cranberry juice and celery seeds. Warm over medium-low heat to blend the flavors, about 5 minutes. Once warmed, remove from the heat, and the Worcestershire sauce and puree in a blender, with the vent removed, until smooth. Then return to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Once simmering, remove from the heat and whisk in some butter. Hold warm in the pan until serving.
- For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the onions and seasoning blend, stirring with a wooden spoon until the onions are translucent and slightly browned on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. After caramelizing the onions, sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Then add to the skillet and sear on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Once seared, remove the onions from the skillet and finish the steaks in the oven to desired temperature. They will be medium-rare to medium with oven cooking. Once the steaks are finished, sauce each plate with 1 to 2 ounces of sauce. Place steaks in center and finish with the onions.

Steps:
- Pulse butter, shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add basil, and pulse until well incorporated and smooth.
- DO AHEAD: Butter mixture can be prepared up to 4 days in advance. Allow to come to room temperature before cooking the steak. NOTE: You will have extra butter...perfect for more steaks, hamburgers, chicken, eggs, and more.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season steaks with a 5-finger pinch of salt on all sides. Sear until steaks are well browned and beginning to char around edges, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks registers 120° for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Meanwhile, drizzle bread with olive oil on both sides and grill until golden brown on both sides. (The grilled bread also tastes great with basil butter!)
- Slice tomatoes and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Arrange sliced steak on top of tomatoes. Spread steak generously with basil butter and serve with grilled bread.
- Heirloom tomatoes and the herb butter pair perfectly with the rich and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from Tom Gore Vineyards.
