Lemon Garlic Steak (Chuck Blade)
Description
Lemon Garlic Steak made from top chuck blade steaks features simple seasoning with salt, black pepper, and paprika if desired. The meat is patted dry to ensure good searing, then sprinkled with diced garlic and lemon juice to infuse flavor before cooking. Heating a mixture of unsalted butter and olive oil with whole garlic cloves in a heavy skillet creates a flavorful cooking base.
The steaks are sautéed over moderately high heat for a short time on each side to reach medium doneness, developing a browned exterior while preserving juiciness inside. Additional lemon juice is added just before removal to enhance the citrus-garlic aroma and add bright notes. The garlic cloves in the pan lightly infuse the oil without burning.
This preparation suits a quick, flavorful steak dinner highlighting the beef’s tenderness and balancing rich, savory flavors with fresh lemon. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
