Let’s dive into this easy recipe that is sure to impress!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak Butter
- In a bowl, use a fork to mash together the softened butter, crushed garlic, minced parsley, sea salt, ground black pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.
Step 2: Grill the Steaks
- Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to bring them to room temperature.
- Scrape the grill grate clean and brush it lightly with cooking oil before heating.
- Heat half of the grill to high heat. Sear the steaks on the hot side of the grill without flipping them until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Sear both sides, then move the steaks to the cooler side of the grill (over indirect heat) to cook to your desired doneness.
Step 3: Rest and Serve
- Use tongs to turn the steaks to avoid piercing them and losing their juices.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow them to rest for ten minutes.
- Apply a rounded tablespoon of the steak butter to the top of each hot steak right before serving.
Notes
- Pre-Grilling Tips: Ensure steaks are at room temperature before grilling. This helps them cook evenly.
- Grill Preparation: Scrape the grill grate and lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Searing Tips: Get one side of the grill very hot for searing. Do not flip the steaks until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Resting: Let the steaks rest under foil to retain their juices before serving with the steak butter.
