Whether you're a grilling pro or a kitchen novice, mastering the art of preparing steak is a culinary triumph worth celebrating. Today, we're unveiling a recipe that promises to raise your steak game to new heights: Garlic Butter Steak.
This garlic butter steak recipe combines the bold flavors of perfectly grilled beef with the richness of garlic-infused butter, resulting in a dish that is sure to please your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic to the butter and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
3. Remove the garlic butter from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
5. Once the grill or grill pan is hot, place the seasoned ribeye steaks onto the grill. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness.
6. During the last minute of cooking, brush the tops of the steaks with the garlic butter mixture and add a sprig of fresh rosemary and thyme on each steak for added flavor.
7. Remove the steaks from the grill and transfer them to a plate. Tent the steaks with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. After resting, slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the sliced steaks and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
9. Serve the Garlic Butter Steak immediately, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
This Garlic Butter Steak recipe is a true celebration of the indulgent pleasures of beef, combining simplicity with sophistication to create a dish that's sure to impress even the most discerning palates. So fire up your grill, gather your ingredients, and prepare to embark on a culinary journey that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
