Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Take the meat out of the refrigerator no later than one hour before cooking, so it reaches room temperature. Season with salt and set aside.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Next, prepare the lemon butter. Mix butter, lemon juice, and tarragon until smooth, then set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the butter to melt completely and absorb the flavors of the herbs and lemon juice.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Sear the steaks in a pan; for medium doneness, cook for about 3 minutes on each side. I use kitchen tongs—they're very convenient for flipping the meat.

   Step 4

   Place the steaks in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius for 4–5 minutes. Remove the meat and let it rest on a wooden board or a warm plate for 5 minutes before serving. Just before serving, drizzle with lemon butter and sprinkle with ground black pepper.
