Ingredients

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick) – Rich and flavorful, ribeye is my go-to for grilling.
• Salt and pepper, to taste – Simple yet essential for enhancing the steak’s natural flavors.
• 2 tablespoons olive oil – Helps keep the steaks juicy and prevents sticking.
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened – Adds a creamy richness to the garlic herb topping.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced – A must-have for that aromatic punch!
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped – Brightens the flavors beautifully.
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped – Earthy and fragrant, it pairs perfectly with steak.
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped – Complements the beef with its robust flavor.
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional) – A squeeze of lemon adds a lovely brightness.

How to Make Grilled Steak with Garlic Herb Butter

1. Start by preheating your grill to high heat. This will give you those beautiful grill marks!
2. Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy; this seasoning will enhance the flavor.
3. Brush each steak lightly with olive oil. This not only prevents sticking but also adds a lovely sear.
4. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. I love using a meat thermometer to check for doneness—around 130°F for medium-rare!
5. While the steaks are grilling, prepare the garlic herb butter. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
6. Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This is key for juicy steaks!
7. Top each steak with a generous dollop of the garlic herb butter. Watch it melt into the warm steak—pure bliss!
8. Serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired, for that extra zing.

Substitutions & Additions

If you don’t have ribeye, feel free to use other cuts like sirloin or filet mignon. For a twist, add some blue cheese or a sprinkle of chili flakes to the garlic herb butter for a little heat. You can also mix in some sun-dried tomatoes or olives for an Italian flair!

Tips for Success

• A common mistake is overcooking the steak. Invest in a meat thermometer to help you get it just right.
• Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial; it allows the juices to redistribute.
• You can prepare the garlic herb butter ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature before using!

How to Store Grilled Steak with Garlic Herb Butter

If you have leftovers (which is rare with this delicious dish!), store the steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying it out. The garlic herb butter can also be frozen for up to 3 months, so you always have a flavorful topping on hand!

FAQs

• Can I use frozen steaks? Yes, just make sure to thaw them completely in the fridge before grilling for even cooking.
• What should I serve with grilled steak? A refreshing salad or some roasted vegetables are fantastic sides!
• Can I make the garlic herb butter in advance? Absolutely! Just keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
