Grilled T-bone Steaks with Mâitre d'Hôtel Butter

Prep Time20 Minutes

Servings4

Cook Time8 Minutes

Ingredients

1/4 lb. soft butter

1 Tbsp finely chopped parsley

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1 medium garlic clove, minced

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 T-bones steaks

olive oil

Directions

Place butter, parsley, lemon juice, garlic and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, in a bowl and mix to combine. Tear a 12-inch long piece of plastic wrap and set flat on a work surface. Set butter in the centre of the plastic wrap, forming it into a five- to six-inch long log shape. Roll the butter in the plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal. Refrigerate butter until set. Butter can be made a day or two before needed.

When ready to cook the steaks, remove butter from the refrigerator, unwrap and cut into four thick, or eight thinner slices. Heat your barbecue or indoor grill to medium-high. Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Brush each steak lightly with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Now grill to the desired doneness, allowing about 2 to 3 minutes per side for rare, and 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare to medium. Plate the steaks, immediately top each one with one or two slices of butter, and then serve.
