Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces faux filets (strip steaks)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 fillets anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Take the faux filets out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, finely chopped anchovy fillets, minced garlic, lemon zest, and parsley. Mix well to create a smooth anchovy butter. Set aside.
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, sear the steaks in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, for about 5 minutes.
While the steaks rest, dollop the prepared anchovy butter on top of each steak so it begins to melt into the meat.
Transfer the steaks to serving plates, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.
