Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Use your silicone spatula to mix everything until smooth and creamy.
Set the garlic butter aside in the fridge so it can firm up while you cook the steak.
2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, add all the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
Use your silicone basting brush to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables on a silicone baking mat or a lined baking tray.
Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Prepare the Steak
Take your steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. This helps the meat cook evenly.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides.
4. Cooking the Steak
Heat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the pan.
Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Use your silicone tongs to flip the steak safely without splashing oil.
In the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary or thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the butter over the steak. This creates a rich, flavorful crust.
If you’re unsure about doneness, you can use a food thermometer:
- 50°C (122°F): Rare
- 55°C (131°F): Medium rare
- 60°C (140°F): Medium
- 65°C (149°F): Medium well
- 70°C (158°F): Well done
5. Rest the Steak
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Place the roasted vegetables on the plate, lay the steak on top, and add a generous slice of your homemade garlic butter.
Garnish with fresh parsley if you like. Serve with a glass of Dad’s favorite drink, and you’ve got a perfect Father’s Day meal!
