A simple yet indulgent grilled steak recipe featuring herb butter and coarse sea salt for a perfect, savory dinner that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz / 225 g each), well-marbled
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 60 g), softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus extra for finishing
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing the steaks before grilling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the herb butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with finely chopped parsley, thyme leaves, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of coarse sea salt. Mix well until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
  2. Bring steaks to room temperature by taking them out of the fridge about 20-30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Brush each steak lightly with olive oil, then season both sides generously with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
  4. Preheat your grill to around 450°F (232°C). If using charcoal, wait until coals are glowing red with a thin layer of ash.
  5. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature around 130°F / 54°C). Adjust time for thickness or preferred doneness.
  6. Transfer the grilled steaks to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  7. Slice the chilled herb butter into medallions. Just before serving, place one or two butter slices on each steak and sprinkle extra coarse sea salt over the top. The butter will melt over the warm steak.

Notes

If herb butter is too hard, let it sit out for 5 minutes before slicing. Use tongs to flip steaks to avoid piercing the meat and losing juices. Rest steaks after grilling to keep them juicy. For dairy-free option, substitute butter with plant-based spread or coconut oil. Can be cooked indoors using a cast-iron skillet or grill pan.
