A quick and easy recipe for a juicy, perfectly seared grilled steak topped with a rich, fresh herb butter that enhances the natural beef flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye or New York strip steak, about 1-inch thick
  • Coarse sea salt (such as Maldon), to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil (extra virgin), for brushing
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, a little extra

Instructions

  1. Prep the Herb Butter (10 minutes): In a small bowl, combine ½ cup softened unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, 2 minced garlic cloves, and the zest of half a lemon. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth. Set aside or chill briefly if you want it firmer.
  2. Season the Steak (5 minutes): Pat your steak dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Generously sprinkle coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Grill Pan (5 minutes): Heat your grill or pan to medium-high—around 450°F (232°C).
  4. Cook the Steak (8-12 minutes): Place the steak on the grill and let it sear undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes. Flip using tongs and cook another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F / 54-57°C). Adjust time for thickness or preferred doneness. Avoid pressing down on the steak.
  5. Rest the Steak & Add Herb Butter (5 minutes): Transfer the steak to a warm plate or cutting board. Immediately top with a generous dollop of the herb butter. Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice & Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thick strips and spoon any melted herb butter from the plate over top.

Notes

Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices and melt the herb butter into the meat. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness precisely. For dairy-free option, substitute butter with a high-quality olive oil spread. Avoid pressing the steak while cooking to keep it juicy.
