One Pan Steak and Veggies with Garlic Herb Butter

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 1 1/4-inch-thick New York strip steaks
• 1 shallot (minced)
• 1 pound fresh asparagus (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (halved)

Steps

1. 1

   FOR THE BUTTER MIXTURE: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper; set aside.

2. 2

   Season steaks with salt and pepper, to taste.

3. 3

   Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Place the steaks in the middle of the skillet and cook until a dark crust has formed, about 4-5 minutes. Using tongs, flip, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness; set aside and keep warm.

4. 4

   Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add shallot, asparagus and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned and asparagus are crisp-tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve immediately with steaks and BUTTER MIXTURE.
