Smooth over both sides of the steak and allow to marinate for a minimum of 20 minutes (an hour is best; place in refrigerator if marinating more than about 20 minutes).

When ready to cook, place a large skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 375F.

Turn the steak over and cook for another 5-7 minutes (for medium rare), then remove from the oven and place the steak on a plate or cutting board to rest for about 3 minutes.

Place the skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable stock or red wine.

Stir, scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan, for 1-2 minutes, then add the butter and stir until the butter is melted.

Serve the steak topped with the pan sauce.
