Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick cut steaks I used strip steak but most cuts will work
  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 bunch chives thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • zest and juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes more to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Trim excess fat from the steak and cut into large bite sized pieces. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter and add in all the other ingredients and mix well. Place into the fridge until it chills back into a solid.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat with a tbsp of canola oil until smoking hot. Add 1/2 the steak and don't touch it. Allow a deep crust to form before stirring to expose the other sides to the pan to sear. Cook, stirring occasionally until your desired doneness. We like ours medium-rare to medium so I cooked them to around 135-140 in the center.
  • Move to a serving platter or plates and scoop some of the butter on top so it melts all over the steak. Serve with the extra butter to add while eating.
