Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine the steak strips with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and hot sauce. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare green beans.
2. While meat is marinating, arrange green beans in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup (125ml) water. Cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes, until almost done but still crisp.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the steak strips in one layer in the skillet, keeping the drained marinade for later. Sear on for 1 minute on one side, until nicely browned. Add half the garlic and red chili pepper flakes and turn the steak strips to finish cooking for one minute more – adjust timing depending on how you like your steak. Transfer steak strips to a plate and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add chopped parsley, thyme, remaining garlic, Italian seasoning, red crushed chili pepper flakes, and pre-cooked green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your liking. Deglaze with lemon juice, beef stock, and reserved steak marinade, and reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes.
5. Add grilled steak strips back to the pan and reheat quickly. Adjust seasoning with pepper and serve the garlic Butter steak and lemon green beans skillet immediately, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh herbs, and a slice of lemon if you like. Enjoy!

I did this recipe for the fourth time yummmy🤩🤩🤩🤩
This was awesome!!! I will do it again with pork loin or chicken. We had riced cauliflower and served it over it.
For the 8-10 minutes green beans in microwave are beyond crisp, cut down the time. Hot sauce and pepper flakes are to liking but consider one or other. Keep parsley coarse chopped for better flavor and add a little later as cooking hides any flavors.
