** How to Make It :**

Season the Steak:

Pat the steak dry and rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Let it rest at room temp for 15–20 minutes. This step builds the best grilled steak recipe, makes a bold restaurant-style lunch, and guarantees a juicy high-protein meal.

Grill to Perfection:

Grill steak over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for medium-rare. Add butter during the last minute and baste for extra richness. That caramelized crust delivers a true steakhouse at home vibe, an epic comfort food classic, and a serious flavor-packed lunch.

Steam the Green Beans:

Steam green beans 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green. Toss with butter, salt, and pepper. These keep your plate fresh, making it a balanced healthy lunch, a colorful family favorite meal, and a smart easy meal prep idea.

Make the Cheesy Garlic Bread:

Mix softened butter with minced garlic and parsley. Spread on bread slices, top with mozzarella and cheddar, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until bubbly and golden. This creates the best cheesy garlic bread, a melty comfort food upgrade, and a guaranteed crowd-pleasing side.

Slice & Serve:

Let steak rest 5–10 minutes, slice against the grain, and plate with green beans and cheesy garlic bread. Spoon any steak juices over the meat for that glossy finish. Boom — you’ve got the ultimate steak lunch, a satisfying easy comfort food meal, and a straight-up restaurant-style dinner at home.
