Prep Time: 10 minutes\\ 
Cook Time: 25 minutes\\ 
Serves: 4\\ 

Ingredients:
  * 1 small pkg fresh basil
  * 2 cloves garlic, diced
  * 1 lemon
  * 0.45 kg potatoes
  * 0.68 kg striploin (New York strip) steak
  * 2 (227 g) pkg snap peas
  * black pepper
  * 1/4 cup butter, unsalted
  * Italian seasoning
  * salt
  * olive oil

Steps:
  - Preheat oven 450°F. Spread some oil around on a baking sheet.
  - Cut butter into small pieces and place in a small bowl, set aside to soften
  - Wash and dry fresh produce:
    * potatoes
    * lemon
    * basil
    * snap peas
  - Slice potatoes crosswise into 1/4" thick rounds. Transfer to the baking sheet and spread out in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Dot the potatoes with 1/3 of the butter.
  - Place the baking sheet in the oven (doesn't have to be up to temperature yet) and roast, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden, approx 25 minutes. Remove from oven.
  - Zest onion into the bowl with the remaining butter. Cut the lemon into wedges and set aside for later.
  - Peel and mince garlic and add to the bowl with the butter.
  - Pick basil leaves from the stems, roll up crosswise and thinly slice and add to the butter bowl. Mash the butter, garlic, zest, and basil together with the back of a spoon until smooth.
  - Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat
  - Pat the steak dry with paper towels and then season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  - Once the skillet is hot, add some of the compound butter and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the steak and cook until desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside and cover with foil to keep warm.
  - Add more butter and swirl to coat the pan, then add the snap peas and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
  - Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
  - Serve by dividing potatoes, steak, and snap peas between plates. Top steak with compound butter as desired, and squeeze the lemon slices over the peas.
