Steak with Herb Butter

A classic pan-seared steak topped with a flavorful herb butter that melts into the meat, enhancing its rich taste with fresh herbs and garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  4. Add steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  5. While the steaks cook, combine softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well.
  6. Remove steaks from the skillet and let rest on a plate for 5 minutes.
  7. Top each steak with a generous dollop of the herb butter and allow it to melt before serving.

Notes

Letting the steak rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite. The herb butter can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, just bring it to room temperature before serving.
