Instructions

Prepare the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Make the Butter Sauce: Add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs to the pan. Baste the steaks with the butter mixture as they cook.
Rest and Slice: Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest before slicing.
Prepare the Sauce: Deglaze the pan with broth (or wine) and balsamic vinegar. Simmer until slightly reduced.
Serve: Drizzle the butter sauce over the sliced steak, garnish with parsley, and serve with desired sides.

Notes

For a creamy sauce, add heavy cream to the butter sauce.
Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted.
Pair this dish with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
