Grilled Steak with Garlic Butter

Step 1

Take the steak out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steak with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 3

Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Brush the steak with the 1 tbsp olive oil and place it on the grill.

Step 4

Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare).

Step 5

While the steak cooks, melt the 4 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Pour the garlic butter over the steak, then slice and serve with the juices.

Step 7

Serve the steak with the garlic butter spooned over the top.
