Instructions for Steak & Green Giant Veggies
- Bring to Room Temperature: Take the steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.
- Season Generously: Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. The salt will help create a nice crust.
- Preheat Your Skillet: Place your skillet on the stove over high heat and let it get very hot. A well-heated skillet is key to achieving a perfect sear.
- Add Oil: Once the skillet is hot, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Sear the Steak: Carefully place the steak in the skillet. You should hear a loud sizzle. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a good sear. Avoid pressing down on the steak or moving it around, as this can interfere with the searing process.
- Flip and Sear the Other Side: Using tongs, flip the steak to the other side and cook for another 2-3 minutes. This will form a crust on both sides of the steak.
- Baste with Butter (Optional): If you want to add extra flavor, reduce the heat to medium and add a tablespoon of butter, along with a couple of garlic cloves and sprigs of fresh herbs. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melted butter and aromatics for about 1-2 minutes.
- Rest the Steak: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a juicier steak.
- Prepare our side dish: To the same skillet deglazing the pan with some butter before adding in the Green Giant veggies & cooking them on the stovetop following the package instructions.
- Serve: Plate the steak & Green Giant Veggies, top with freshly chopped chives & enjoy!

Top Tips for Success!
Ventilation: Cooking steak on high heat can produce smoke. Make sure your kitchen is well-ventilated or use an exhaust fan.
Avoid Overcrowding: If cooking multiple steaks, do so in batches to prevent steaming rather than searing.
Be Patient: Avoid flipping the steak too often; let it sit to develop a proper crust.
