The tangy lemon juice and aromatic garlic complement the rich taste of the beef, creating a savory and mouthwatering experience. Follow these tips and steps to cook the perfect Lemon Garlic Steak.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. This helps the meat cook more evenly.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Juice the lemon to get approximately 5 teaspoons of lemon juice.
- In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Place the chuck blade steak in the hot pan.
- Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it develops a nice brown crust.
- Reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the butter to the pan and let it melt.
- Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the steak in the pan.
- Use a spatula or spoon to gently scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This adds extra flavor to the sauce.
- Continue to cook the steak, basting occasionally with the pan juices, for another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- A meat thermometer can help ensure perfect doneness: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board.
- Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the sliced steak for extra flavor.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
- Serve your lemon garlic steak with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Make sure to let the steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels before seasoning to achieve a better sear.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the steak in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning.
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the steak with garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to get the desired doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.
This Lemon Garlic Steak is a perfect combination of savory and tangy flavors that can delight any palate. By following the steps and tips outlined, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy your juicy, flavorful steak!
