Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Brush 2 Angus beef steaks with 2 tbsp olive oil and season generously with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While the steaks rest, combine 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix well.
  4. Step 4: Top each steak with half of the garlic herb butter while still warm, allowing it to melt and infuse the meat with flavor before serving.
