Grilling the Perfect Steak

Step 1

Pat steaks dry with paper towels and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside to come to room temperature about 30 minutes to an hour before grilling.

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Prepare a grill fire to 350° using hickory or oak for smoke flavor.

Step 4

Mix the steak butter together in a bowl, combining all ingredients.

Step 5

Place steaks on the grill and close the lid. Cook 5 minutes.

Step 6

Flip the steaks and add about 1 teaspoon of steak butter to each steak.

Step 7

As the butter starts to melt, brush to evenly coat. Close the lid and cook another 5-8 minutes. Use a digital meat thermometer to cook until it reaches desired doneness. We cooked ours to about 128° for rare.

Step 8

Remove steaks onto a serving platter, butter side down. Spoon the remaining butter over the steaks and rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Upon resting, internal temperatures will rise another 5 degrees.
