Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick, 14 oz each, or substitute strip or sirloin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, or tarragon)
  • Extra chopped herbs (parsley, chives, or basil) for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Add softened butter to a small bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.
  2. Mix in parsley, chives, garlic, lemon zest, and flaky sea salt. Add thyme or tarragon if using.
  3. Stir until herbs are evenly distributed. Spoon onto parchment paper, roll into a log, and chill for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 10 minutes if rushed).
  4. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil.
  5. Season steaks with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  6. Let steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  7. Preheat grill to high heat (450-500°F). Clean and oil grates. If using a skillet, heat over medium-high until just smoking.
  8. Place steaks on hot grill. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until a deep brown crust forms.
  9. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 125°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  10. Transfer steaks to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  11. Slice herb compound butter into coins and place on top of hot steak.
  12. Let butter melt, then slice steak across the grain.
  13. Garnish with extra herbs and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let steaks come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Rest steaks after grilling to keep them juicy. Compound butter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer. Adapt herbs and steak cuts to your preference.
