Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Steaks:
Remove steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Make the Herb Butter:
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped herbs.
Roll into a log using plastic wrap and chill (or use immediately).
Grill to Perfection:
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Brush steaks lightly with olive oil.
Grill for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time based on thickness and desired doneness).
Use a meat thermometer: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Rest & Serve:
Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Top each steak with a generous slice of herb butter and let it melt over the warm steak.
Expert Tips for Success

✔ Resting is Key: Keeps the juices locked in for maximum tenderness.
Variations & Substitutions
Dairy-Free: Use ghee or plant-based butter.
