I usually cook steak a couple of times a week. I also usually do a side of mushrooms & baby spinach. Here's my method.
Preheat the oven to 350-400.
Rub the steaks down with Himalayan salt and fresh ground black pepper, then sit them aside. I prefer to use either strip, flat iron, or hanger steaks.
Start heating some Kerrygold unsalted butter over low to medium heat on the stove. As it melts, chop up 1/4 to 1/2 onion and throw it in the pan to let them saute. It takes some time, but I find that if you cook them over low heat until they are almost see through, they have a sweet, soft texture, without being mushy. After about 5 minutes or so, I throw the mushrooms in. I don't really mess with it too much, just kind of drag a wooden spatula around every few minutes to make sure things are evenly coated.
Chop up a clove or two of garlic and set it aside with the baby spinach. I generally throw some cherry tomatoes in with this also.
Put a cast iron skillet or grill pan on the stove and heat it up to high. I've experimented with different oils and butter, right now, this is my favorite thing to use

I've also been using a Le Creuset cast iron grill pan instead of my skillet lately. Anyway, I throw some of the ghee in the pan, and let it melt down.
At this point the mushrooms and onions should be just about right. I throw the garlic, spinach and tomatoes in. I keep it over low heat so the spinach and tomatoes cook down a bit, but don't get mushy. I just kind of stir through to make sure it all gets coated. Here's a photo from a few weeks ago right as I threw it all in, this night I wasn't paying attention, and used way too much butter.

Throw the steaks in the pan and sear them for about 45 seconds on each side.
Pull the steaks off the burner put a little more ghee on top of them, and throw them in the oven for 3-4 minutes on each side. Or if you cook your sides with too much butter like I did in the pic above, i just drained some of the excess butter out over the steaks.
Pull the steaks out, let them sit for a few minutes, throw everything on a plate and enjoy. With my oven, the steaks tend to come out medium rare.
