Notes
- For richer flavor, marinate the beef loin in a mixture of olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before searing.
- If you don’t have clarified butter, use regular butter; just be mindful of burning due to the milk solids.
- To prevent soggy onion rings, ensure they are completely dry before frying and avoid overcrowding the pan.
