This Rosemary Garlic Steak with Lemon Butter is a celebration of classic steakhouse flavors with a bright twist. Fresh rosemary and garlic form a savory crust on the steak as it sears, while a finishing glaze of lemon zest and juice-infused butter adds a punch of freshness that cuts through the richness. The result is a perfectly balanced dish: robust, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, with layers of flavor that elevate a simple steak into something truly special. Ideal for a cozy night in, this steak promises restaurant-quality results with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Instructions

Pat steaks dry with paper towels and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then sprinkle with rosemary and minced garlic, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add steaks and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes, until a deep crust forms.
Flip steaks and sear the other side for 2-3 more minutes for medium-rare (adjust time to preferred doneness).
Reduce heat to low. Add butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan. Spoon melted lemon butter over the steaks repeatedly for 1 minute to glaze and finish cooking.
Transfer steaks to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve, drizzling with pan juices.
