Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Herb Butter
- Mix softened margarine with minced garlic, parsley, thyme, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Transfer mixture to a piece of parchment paper and roll into a log shape. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or freeze for later use.
Prepare and Grill the Steaks
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Create two zones: direct high heat on one side and indirect medium heat on the other.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place steaks on the hot side of the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them to develop a good sear.
- Flip steaks and cook another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F). Move to cooler side if they're browning too quickly.
- Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Top each steak with a slice of herb butter and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. The herb butter can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, or frozen for up to 3 months. Let steaks rest after cooking to redistribute juices for maximum tenderness.
