Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces beefsteak (thick-cut, about 1-inch thick)
- 2 lemons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the beefsteaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Zest one lemon and juice it, setting both the zest and juice aside. Slice the second lemon into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and the lemon zest. Mix well to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the beefsteaks.
Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Once the butter begins to sizzle, sear the beefsteaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the skillet from heat.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the beefsteaks, and arrange the lemon slices on top of and around the steaks in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare, or longer as desired for your preferred doneness.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Lemon Baked Beefsteak with your favorite side dishes!
