Garlic Butter Beef Steak with Lemon Zest

A succulent beef steak pan-seared to perfection, then topped with a rich garlic butter infused with fresh lemon zest, delivering a deliciously tangy and buttery flavor that elevates the meat.

Steps

1. Pat the beef steak dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the steak to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
4. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a plate.
5. Reduce heat to low, add butter and minced garlic to the same skillet.
6. Stir butter and garlic until fragrant and garlic is lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Stir in lemon zest and remove from heat.
8. Spoon the garlic lemon butter over the rested steak.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
