Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 to 1.5 pounds steak (ribeye, sirloin, filet mignon, or preferred cut)

Herb Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Seasoning & Grill Prep

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt, for seasoning steak
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning steak

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herb Butter: Soften the unsalted butter to room temperature. Finely chop the fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and chives. Mince the garlic. In a bowl, combine the butter, herbs, garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and cohesive. Form the herb butter mixture into a small log on parchment paper, roll it up tightly, and refrigerate while preparing the steak.
  2. Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the steak rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate and promote even cooking.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat, aiming for 450°F to 500°F. Clean the grill grates thoroughly and lightly oil them to prevent the steak from sticking.
  4. Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness. Avoid pressing down on the steak to keep juices inside. Use tongs to flip once for an even, beautiful crust.
  5. Rest and Top with Herb Butter: Remove the steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 to 7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice if desired, then top immediately with a generous pat of herb butter, letting it melt luxuriously over the warm steak.

Notes

  • Let steak come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
  • Rotate the steak 45 degrees halfway through cooking each side for crosshatch grill marks.
  • Rest steak after grilling to retain juices and enhance tenderness.
  • Add herb butter just after resting to prevent burning and ensure perfect melting.
  • Use a meat thermometer: 130-135°F for medium-rare doneness.
