Steak with Garlic Herb Butter Veggies 

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
• 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon zest
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 1 1/4-inch-thick steaks
• 1 shallot, minced

Directions
FOR THE BUTTER MIXTURE:

• In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper; set aside.
• Season steaks with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Place the steaks in the middle of the skillet and cook until a dark crust has formed, about 4-5 minutes. Using tongs, flip, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness; set aside and keep warm.
• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add shallot, asparagus and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned and asparagus are crisp-tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
• Serve immediately with steaks and BUTTER MIXTURE.
