Lemon steaks with thyme butter
Test Kitchen Notes

These flavors make for an excellent tasting sequence. At first bite, you are greeted with the acidic lemon, which fades into the beefiness of the meat and you finish with a lingering thyme flavor. I don’t normally pair thyme with beef unless it’s in a stew, so hats off to slulibby for making that connection. Trying to incorporate lemon juice into even soft, whole butter is no easy feat, so I made a melted concoction to spoon over slices of steak, which worked well. - cheese1227
