Method

  1. 1Make rough puff dough: In a bowl, combine 300g flour and 4g fine salt. Toss in 225g cold cubed butter, leaving visible pea-sized pieces. Add 150ml cold water and gently bring together into a rough dough. Shape into a rectangle, wrap, and chill 30 minutes.
  2. 2Laminate: On a lightly floured surface, roll to a long rectangle about 1 cm thick. Fold in thirds like a letter. Chill 15 minutes. Repeat rolling and folding 2 more times, chilling between folds. Keep the dough cold.
  3. 3Cook onion-garlic layer: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 15g butter. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and most moisture evaporates, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Spread on a plate to cool completely.
  4. 4Season and sear beef: Pat beef dry. Season all over with 4g kosher salt and 4g black pepper. Heat 15ml oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear beef on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side and briefly on the ends, until well browned. Transfer to a rack and cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
