Perfect for any occasion, this recipe is simple to prepare, customizable to your taste, and delivers steakhouse-quality results at home.

Ingredients

Steak

  • Steak of your choice (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon) – about 8-12 oz per serving
  • Salt – to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper – to taste
  • Olive oil – 1-2 tablespoons for brushing

Herb Butter

  • Unsalted butter – 1/2 cup (softened)
  • Fresh parsley – 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • Fresh thyme – 1 teaspoon, finely chopped
  • Fresh rosemary – 1 teaspoon, finely chopped
  • Garlic – 1 clove, minced
  • Salt – a pinch
  • Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Herb Butter: In a bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, thyme, and rosemary, a pinch of salt, and optional lemon juice. Mix well, form into a log using plastic wrap, and chill until firm.
  2. Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels, season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote browning.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high temperature, aiming for 450-500°F (232-260°C) for the perfect sear.
  4. Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting according to thickness and preferred doneness. Flip gently using tongs and avoid frequent flipping.
  5. Rest and Finish with Herb Butter: Transfer the steak to a plate and let rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices. Place a slice of chilled herb butter on top before serving to melt slowly and add savory richness.

Notes

  • Let steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure proper searing and heat circulation.
  • Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
  • Resting the steak after grilling is crucial to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Make herb butter ahead of time to allow flavors to blend deeply.
