Flatiron Steak with Melted Herb Butter
Adapted from Bouchon by Thomas Keller
I’ve made a number of dishes from Thomas Keller’s Bouchon cookbook. So far this is one of the most simple I’ve made. I’ve halved the recipe here, but you can easily double it.

Call your butcher ahead of time or use a hanger steak or top sirloin steak. The compound herb butter (recipe at the bottom) can be made a couple days ahead. Make sure the butter is at room temperature before adding in the herbs and lemon juice.
