How to Make Garlic Butter Beef & Steamed Veggie Power Plate 🥩🥦

1. Start by seasoning the beef steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. The aroma will be heavenly!
3. Add the beef steak to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness is reached. I like mine medium-rare, but feel free to adjust to your preference.
4. In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Baste the steak with the garlic butter for that extra flavor.
5. While the steak is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the mixed vegetables and steam them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still vibrant.
6. Drizzle the steamed vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Once the steak is done, slice it against the grain and serve it on a plate alongside the colorful steamed vegetables.
8. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a beautiful presentation.

Substitutions & Additions

• If you prefer chicken or pork, feel free to swap the beef steak for your favorite protein.
• Add other veggies like zucchini or snap peas for a different twist.
• For a spicy kick, toss in some red pepper flakes with the garlic.
• Serve with a side of rice or quinoa for added heartiness.

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; it can cause the beef to steam instead of sear. If you’re cooking more than one steak, do it in batches.
• Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
• You can prep the veggies ahead of time and steam them just before serving for a quick meal.
