The T-bone gives you the best of both worlds: the bold, beefy flavor of the strip on one side and the buttery tenderness of the filet on the other. Topped with a roasted garlic compound butter that melts into every crevice, it's steakhouse luxury at home.

- 2 (18 oz each) T-bone steaks, 1.5 inches thick
- 4 tbsp Butter, softened
- 6 Roasted garlic cloves, mashed
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- generous Kosher salt and pepper
