Best Lemon Butter Steak Recipe - How to Make Lemon Butter Steak

Step 1Slice steak against the grain into thin slices, about ½” thick. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon zest and juice, and thyme. Add steak and toss until coated. Marinate for 20 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Step 2In a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Shake off excess marinade from steak and season all over with salt and pepper. Add steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and cook until seared on bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip steak, then add 3 tablespoons butter, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and thyme. Baste steak in butter and cook steak to your liking, about 2 more minutes for medium. Remove steak and let rest on a plate. Pour out extra sauce and save for later.

Step 3 Return clean skillet over medium heat and melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add spinach and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 4 minutes.

Step 4Serve steak with spinach and extra butter sauce for dipping.
