Instructions:
- Cook the Green Beans: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Sauté: In a skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 2-3 more minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired.
Honey Butter Biscuits
Round out the meal with these delicious, sweet and savory biscuits that are perfect for sopping up any leftover gravy or juices from the steak.

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
For the Honey Butter:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions:
- Make the Biscuits: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and honey until a dough forms. Roll out and cut into rounds, then bake for 10-12 minutes.

Tips for the Perfect Meal

- Honey Butter Biscuits: To get the best texture, don’t overwork the biscuit dough. Handle it just enough to bring everything together.
Variations to Consider
- Steak Toppings: Add sautéed mushrooms or a blue cheese crumble on top of the steak for extra flavor.
