Grilled Steak With Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 cup shallot, finely minced
1 garlic clove, smashed and minced
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh tarragon, minced
4 sirloin strip steaks (about 6 oz. each)
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

In a bowl, combine butter with shallots, garlic, parsley, chives and tarragon until well blended. Spoon butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log about 1-inch in diameter.
Twist ends to enclose completely. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 weeks.
Prehaet grill or grill pan over high heat (preheat oven to 350F if indoors).
Let steaks come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil,. Sear steaks until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Move to indirect heat or the oven.
Cook until desired doneness, about 5 minutes for medium rare. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve on a warmed plate with a 1/2 -inch slice of butter on each steak.
TIP: Store extra butter in the refrigerator. Stir it into cooked hot potatoes, pasta or rice to add flavor. It also works over grilled fish, pork, veal, chicken and lamb.
