SEARED STEAK AND GREEN BEANS WITH HERBED BUTTER
Steps:
- For the herbed butter: Add the butter, chives, oregano, parsley, lemon zest, garlic and some salt and pepper to a bowl and mix together well.
- Put the butter in the center of a piece of plastic wrap and, using the plastic wrap, form it into a sausage shape. Seal it and pop it in the fridge for 1 hour.
- For the steak: Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Fill a saucepan with some water, add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. This is for cooking the string beans so it's all ready at the same time.
- Season both sides of the steak well with the chopped rosemary and some salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the oil and allow it to heat up for 1 more minute. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove to a plate, cover with a piece of aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
- For the green beans: Meanwhile, add the green beans to the salted boiling water and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well.
- When ready to serve, toss the green beans with about 2 tablespoons of the herbed butter. Slice the steak and top with a piece of the herbed butter.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the beans before cooking. Remove the stem end and any tough strings from the sides of the beans.
- Blanch the beans before sautéing. This will help them retain their color and crispness.
- Use a large skillet or wok to sauté the beans. This will help them cook evenly.
- Sauté the beans over medium-high heat. This will help them brown and blister slightly.
- Season the beans with salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, or lemon zest.
- Serve the beans immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
