Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Beef steak (preferably ribeye or striploin, about 1 inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Take the beef steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Season both sides of the steaks with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the steaks to the skillet. Cook without moving for about 4-5 minutes on one side, allowing a nice sear to develop.
Flip the steaks and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time according to personal preference for doneness.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, thyme leaves, and chopped rosemary to the skillet.
Allow the butter to melt, then spoon the garlic herb butter over the steaks, basting each piece for about 1-2 minutes to mingle the flavors.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, for about 5 minutes.
To the remaining sauce in the skillet, stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, cooking for an additional 1 minute.
Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle the garlic herb butter sauce over them before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, low-sodium beef steak!
