1-: Getting started with this garlic butter steak is straightforward, and we’ll walk you through each part to make it simple for home cooks. First, begin by combining the softened butter with the finely minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and kosher salt to make the garlic butter. Stir everything well and set it aside in the refrigerator or at room temperature if you’ll use it soon.

2-: Next, take the steaks out of the fridge 30-45 minutes before cooking so they reach room temperature for even heating. Once ready, heat a cast iron skillet until it’s very hot to get that ideal sear. Season the steaks all over with the 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper for the perfect flavor base.

3-: Now, sear the steaks dry in the hot skillet for 4 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other, making sure to sear any fat cap too. Then, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of the garlic butter per steak. Baste the steaks for 2-3 minutes until they hit your preferred internal temperature, which you can check with a digital meat thermometer for accuracy.

4-: After cooking, remove the steaks and let them rest under foil for 10-15 minutes to lock in juices before serving with extra garlic butter.
