Restaurant Style Steak

I love love love steaks...did I mention I love steaks :)! There is nothing better than getting one right off the grill that is cooked to perfection! I saw this recipe talking about how restaurants really cook their steaks & that you would never want to use a grill again. Well...I have to admit, this steak was amazing, but I know that I will still have Kyle cook on the grill too!

He really loved it because of all the butter you put on it!

This was also a perfect meal for when my older sister and brother-in-law came into town. Everyone finished their plates :)

These pictures are not the best so I will have to take some more at a different time.

**If you like your steaks cooked more than Medium Rare, leave in the oven a little bit longer!

Ingredients:

2 steaks (called for Filet, but I used New York Strips)

Kosher salt

Black pepper

Stick Butter

Olive Oil

Garlic 

Parsley

Thyme

Lemon Zest

*Sometimes I use dry ingredients, but so glad I used all fresh on this one!!

What To Do:

• Take 1/2 stick of butter, softened, and mix well with the chopped garlic, chopped parsley & thyme, and the lemon zest
• Form into a log and refrigerate
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper
• Heat the remainder 1/2 stick of butter and the olive oil (use a skillet that you can throw in the oven as well)
• Preheat the oven to 400F
• When the butter and oil is searing hot, put in your steaks to brown each side
• Brown each side for about 2-3 minutes
• While the meat is cooking, continue to spoon the juices in the pan on top of the meat
• Once both sides are browned and crusty, put the skillet into the oven on the center rack
• Bake for about 6-8 minutes
• In the last minute, take the log butter and slice a nice think piece 
• Place the piece of butter on top of the steak and finishing cooking for the last minute
• ENJOY!!
