As always, first things first! The steak should be at least 3-5 cm thick to get a great crust and still be served medium rare or medium. As usual, take the steak out of the fridge at least 1 hour in advance to allow it to slowly come to room temperature. First, mix the softened butter with the chopped herbs, garlic, and lemon zest, and season with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Meanwhile, sear the steak in a pan for 2-3 minutes on each side to give it a nice crust. Now add the butter mixture, heat it up, and remove the pan from the heat. Drizzle the melted butter over the steak again and again until the desired internal temperature is reached. If the residual heat is not sufficient, simply reheat the pan a little. Once the desired internal temperature is reached, transfer the meat to a board and let it rest for a moment before carving. Finally, drizzle a little more of the butter mixture over the steak.
