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
Directions
Step 1
Take the faux filets out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to let them come to room temperature.
Step 2
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, for about 5 minutes.
Step 7
While the steaks rest, dollop the prepared anchovy butter on top of each steak so it begins to melt into the meat.
Step 8
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.
