Description
Delicious bone-in strip steaks grilled to perfection with a flavorful herb butter topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bone-in strip steaks cut 1-1/2″ thick (or your steak of choice)
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 Tablespoon rock salt
- 1–1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 1 stick salted butter (1/2 cup, softened to room temperature)
- 1 Tablespoon finely minced fresh rosemary
- 1 Tablespoon finely minced fresh thyme
- 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 garlic clove (pressed or minced)
Instructions
- Add ingredients to a mortar and pestle then coarsely grind. Alternatively, add ingredients to a heavy duty Ziplock bag, squeeze all the air out, then crush ingredients with a meat pounder, rolling pin, or heavy bottomed skillet.
- Add ingredients to a bowl then stir with a fork to combine. Scoop herb butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap then shape into a thick log and refrigerate until firm (if time is of the essence you can freeze for 20-30 minutes). Can be done ahead of time.
- Trim steaks of any big hunks of fat to avoid flare ups on the grill then pat dry with a paper towel. Rub each side with oil then season generously with the steak seasoning and press gently into steaks so it adheres – you should use most if not all of the seasoning.
- Light 2/3 or 1/2 of your grill burners (2 of 3 burners, or 1 of 2 burners, depending on how many burners you have) then heat on high for 10-15 minutes, or until the grill reaches 500 degrees.
- Add steaks to the lit side then sear on each side for 1-1/2 minutes (adjust accordingly if your steaks are bigger or smaller than 1lb cut 1-1/2″ thick), keeping the lid closed between flipping.
- Transfer steaks to unlit portion of grill then continue cooking for 7-10 minutes with the lid closed for medium doneness, or until they’ve reached your preferred level of doneness.
- Remove steaks to a platter then let rest for at least 15 minutes. Top with sliced herb butter then serve.
Notes
- Can prepare the herb butter ahead of time to save on preparation time.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness and size of the steaks to achieve desired doneness.
