Step 1

FOR THE BUTTER MIXTURE: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper; set aside.

Step 2

Season steaks with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 3

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Place the steaks in the middle of the skillet and cook until a dark crust has formed, about 4-5 minutes. Using tongs, flip, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness; set aside and keep warm.

Step 4

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add shallot, asparagus and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned and asparagus are crisp-tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Serve immediately with steaks and BUTTER MIXTURE.
