Ingredients: 4 beef steaks ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon, about 1 inch thick. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. 4 cloves garlic, smashed. 2 sprigs fresh rosemary. 2 sprigs fresh thyme.

Instructions: Before cooking, take the steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Add a lot of salt and pepper to both sides of the steaks. Put the vegetable oil in a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Carefully put the steaks in the hot pan and don't move them for three to four minutes. This will give them a nice sear. Put the steaks on the other side and add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and butter to the pan. Add more melted butter to the top of the steaks and cook for another 34 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you want. Take the steaks out of the pan and let them rest for a few minutes. Then serve them. Cut the steaks into pieces and serve them with the juices from the pan on top.

The combination of the nuttiness from pistachios and the freshness of mint creates a unique and delicious sauce that perfectly complements the richness of the salmon.

Instructions: Add salt and pepper to both sides of the salmon fillets. Put pistachios, mint leaves, and heavy cream in a food processor and blend them together. Pulse until it's creamy and smooth. Put olive oil in a big skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets in the pan skin-side down. Cook for four to five minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. The salmon fillets should be cooked through after being turned over and cooking for an extra 3 to 4 minutes. Take the salmon out of the pan and set it aside. Add the pistachio mint cream sauce to the pan and stir it around. Scrape the bottom of the pan to get rid of any brown bits.
