Blade Steaks with Lemon Herb Sauce

These succulent blade steaks with lemon herb sauce offer a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy beef chuck. By lightly scoring the steaks and searing them quickly in a hot frying pan, you achieve a beautiful crust while keeping the centre tender. The vibrant sauce, blitzed together with fresh oregano, flat-leaf parsley, and zesty lemon, provides a punchy contrast to the rich, savoury flavours of the beef.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and heart-healthy fats from extra-virgin olive oil. It is naturally low in carbohydrates and gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. Serve alongside steamed seasonal greens or a crisp salad for a perfectly balanced meal.

Ingredients for Blade Steaks with Lemon Herb Sauce

  • 675g top blade beef chuck steaks (1/2 to 1 inch thick)

  • 3/4 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

  • 80ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh oregano

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1/4 teaspoons grated fresh lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic (1 clove)

How to make Blade Steaks with Lemon Herb Sauce

Pat steaks dry and cut 3 slits (1 inch long and 1/4 inch deep) 1 inch apart across centre cartilage of each steak (to keep from curling), then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook steaks, turning over once, until meat is just medium-rare, 4 to 7 minutes total.

While steaks cook, pulse herbs with zest, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 60ml oil, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a food processor until finely chopped.

Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes, then serve with sauce.
