Tips for Savory Garlic Butter Beef Steak

A deeply browned crust and a lightly springy center are useful visual and touch cues for medium-rare; the exact timing depends on steak thickness.
Patting the steak dry before seasoning helps it brown instead of releasing excess moisture into the skillet.
Have the garlic ready before cooking: minced garlic can turn from fragrant to bitter quickly in a hot pan.

Drink pairing

A medium-bodied red like a Rioja
Its ripe fruit and balanced tannins complement the savory beef and rich garlic butter.

Storage

Refrigerate leftover steak in a covered container within 2 hours and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the steak may become less tender.
