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

Directions

Step 1

Take the beef steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks with freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 4

Add the steaks to the skillet. Cook without moving for about 4-5 minutes on one side, allowing a nice sear to develop.

Step 5

Flip the steaks and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time according to personal preference for doneness.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, thyme leaves, and chopped rosemary to the skillet.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

To the remaining sauce in the skillet, stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, cooking for an additional 1 minute.

Step 10

Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle the garlic herb butter sauce over them before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, low-sodium beef steak!
