Ingredients

• 1 lemon, for zest/juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• 2 (1-inch-thick) boneless steaks (such as ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin fillet; about 2 lb total)
• 3 teaspoons barbecue seasoning, divided
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ cup salted butter
• 2 tablespoons chunky garlic stir-in paste
• 1 tablespoon stone-ground Dijon mustard
• ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper

Steps

1. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon), then juice (1 tablespoon). Chop parsley and chives finely. Coat steaks with 2 teaspoons barbecue seasoning (wash hands).
2. Preheat large, cast-iron skillet on medium–high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in skillet, then add steaks; cook 3–4 minutes on each side until steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Remove steaks from skillet and let stand 5–10 minutes before serving; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
3. Meanwhile, melt butter in small saucepan on low. Remove butter from heat and let cool slightly, then add lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, chives, garlic paste, mustard, red pepper (if using), and remaining 1 teaspoon barbecue seasoning; whisk until thoroughly blended. Serve steaks with butter on the side.
