Ingredients

• 2 pieces beef steaks (e.g., ribeye or sirloin)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the skillet.

Step 5

Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet.

Step 7

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs, ensuring even coverage.

Step 8

Continue basting for an additional 1-2 minutes until the steaks are golden brown and infused with the flavors of the herbs and garlic.

Step 9

Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes to retain the juices.

Step 10

Add the lemon juice to the remaining butter sauce in the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 11

Serve the steaks on plates, spooning the garlic herb butter sauce over the top.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
