This sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to try it. I’ve been on the fence about butter (grass fed, of course) and tamari. I’ve been trying to decide if it’s something I want to add to my cooking. This recipe sounds so great that I may decide to add a little butter every once in a while.

Wow! I just made this dish and it was unbelievable. I have to admit, I balked at the amount of steak called for here, per serving, but I prepped and ate as listed and it was unbelievably good. Can’t wait to have it again, this time without the “optional” butter.

Is there supposed to be butter in this recipe?

Did I miss something? I see broccoli in the photo but not on the recipe???

dundee – The photo is just to show the steak. You can always just steam some broccoli to put on the side if you’d like…

Can you update the recipe.. if you aren’t using butter now please tell us what to use with the thyme. If you still want us to use butter can you include an amount on the ingredient list….
