Instructions

1. Step 1: Pat 2 ribeye steaks (1.5 lbs total) dry and season evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking.
2. Step 2: Sear steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or 6-7 minutes for medium), then remove and let rest on a plate for 10 minutes.
3. Step 3: While steaks rest, combine 4 tbsp cold butter, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tbsp chopped chives, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp fresh thyme in a small bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.
4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 sliced medium zucchini and 1 sliced red and yellow bell pepper with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Roast on a sheet pan for 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
5. Step 5: Return steaks to the skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Top each steak with 2 tbsp herb butter, allowing it to melt and coat the meat. Serve with roasted vegetables and extra herb butter on the side.
