Worked out from the ingredients.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Mash the softened butter with the garlic, parsley, thyme and fine salt in a small bowl until evenly mixed. Set aside at room temperature.

    5 min

    • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
    • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
    • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  2. Step 2

    Pat the steak cubes very dry with paper towels, then toss with 1 tsp of the kosher salt and the pepper. Leave them on the counter while you cook the beans — dry, room-temperature meat browns far better.

    5 min

    • 2 lb sirloin steak
    • 1 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  3. Step 3

    Set a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until a drop of water skitters across it. Add 1 tbsp of the oil, then the green beans and the remaining 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Cook, stirring only every minute or so, until the beans are blistered in spots and still have a little bite, 6–8 minutes. Squeeze the juice of the lemon half over them, scrape them onto a serving platter and cover loosely with foil.

    8 min

    • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
    • 1 lb green beans
    • 1 tbsp neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
    • 1/2 lemon
  4. Step 4

    Return the skillet to high heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. When it just begins to smoke, add the steak cubes in a single layer, spaced apart — work in two batches if they don't all fit. Sear without touching for 2 minutes, until deeply browned, then turn and sear 1–2 minutes more for medium-rare (the cubes should feel springy, not soft).

    5 min

    • 2 lb sirloin steak
    • 1 tbsp neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
  5. Step 5

    Take the pan off the heat, add the garlic-herb butter and toss the steak tips in it until the butter melts into a glossy sauce, about 1 minute. Spoon the steak and all the pan butter over the green beans, sprinkle with flaky salt and serve with the lemon wedges.

    2 min

    • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 1/2 lemon
    • flaky salt
  6. Step 6

    Let the steak rest 2–3 minutes on the platter before serving so the juices settle.

    3 min, hands-off
