GRILLED STEAK WITH HERB BUTTER



Grilled Steak with Herb Butter image

I don't know about where you live, but a typical summer in New York City can get hot and steamy. When the mercury is rising and even the street seems to be sweating, it's hard to think about turning on the oven--which makes this grilled steak an ideal summertime meal. When partnered with seasonal tomatoes made sweet by the hot summer sun, a rich, flavorful herb butter, and the coldest beer I can find, this steak is one of my favorite meals for battling the dog days of summer. If tomatoes aren't in season, serve it with a warming side of creamed spinach--a classic pairing!

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 shallot, minced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
3 ripe beefsteak tomatoes
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 (10- to 12-ounce) strip steaks

Steps:

  • To make the herb butter by hand: In a large bowl, combine the butter, shallot, and parsley, mixing well with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until fully combined. Season with the salt and pepper, add the panko, mix again, and set aside.
  • To make the herb butter in a food processor: Combine the butter, shallot, and parsley in the bowl of the food processor and pulse until blended. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Add the panko, salt, and pepper and pulse four or five times to mix. Transfer the herb butter to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat an outdoor grill, a grill pan, or the broiler on high.
  • Cut the tomatoes into four slices each. Place three slices on each of four plates. Season with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of the extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Grill the steaks to your desired doneness (see Cook's Note), remove from the grill, and spread 1 or 2 tablespoons of the herb butter evenly on top of each steak.
  • Place one hot steak on top of each plate of the seasoned tomatoes and serve.

Unauthorised copying, adapting, display or re-publication of this recipe (or any part of this recipe) in any material form is strictly prohibited. Herb butters are so quick to make and are great to have in the freezer - fantastic to have with vegetables, chicken, lamb chops or just on some toasted ciabatta. They can be made with any herbs - thyme, lemon zest and garlic, or sun-dried tomato, basil and garlic. This dish has summer savory in it, which is a very English herb, is quite strong, and apparently stops flatulence! And is a great substitute for salt and pepper.

Time 2h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 pound rib-eye of beef, off the bone
Oil
2 cloves garlic
Small bunch (20 grams) summer savory leaves
Pinch sea salt
8 3/4 ounces (250 grams-2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Potatoes, peeled, cut in to 1 inch dice and cooked for 10 to 15 minutes
Fresh rosemary leaves
1 bulb garlic
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C degrees/400 degrees F/ Gas Mark 6.
  • Remove some of the rosemary leaves from the stalks by running your thumb and forefinger down the length of the stalk. Sharpen the ends of the rosemary skewer to make them into little arrows, then pierce them through the beef to flavor it. Chop up the rosemary leaves and press onto the beef on both sides. Cover and allow to stand for 1/2 hour until room temperature. (Beef tastes better if cooked at room temperature.)
  • Make the butter by bashing the garlic, summer savory and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then combine with the softened butter, mixing to flavor all of it. Put into buttered paper, roll into a sausage shape, and chill.
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, then toss in the colander to chuff up.
  • Drizzle some oil over the beef and pat onto both sides. Heat a frying pan suitable for the oven, and cook the beef for 1 minute on each side. Remove from the pan, add the potatoes with some rosemary and bashed garlic, salt and pepper, then put the beef back into the pan. Put the pan into the oven and roast the beef and potatoes for about 30 minutes.
  • To serve, slice the meat and place 2 slices of the butter on top. (Freeze the remaining butter.)

HERBED COMPOUND BUTTER



Herbed Compound Butter image

A compound butter - a stick of butter seasoned with herbs, lemon and garlic or shallots - is one of the most versatile things to keep on hand. You can store it in the freezer, then slice it whenever you want to add herby richness to a dish. Use it on steak, fish, chicken or even mashed or roasted sweet potatoes. And feel free to vary the herbs to suit your taste. For a kick, a pinch or two of chile powder or a drizzle of hot sauce would do the trick. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH HERBED BUTTER



Porterhouse Steak with Herbed Butter image

Provided by Diana Yen

Categories     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Steak     Summer     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the herbed butter:
1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, thyme leaves, and marjoram leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For the steak:
2 porterhouse steaks, (2-inch thick), about 4 pounds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the herbed butter:
  • In a bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together the herbs and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture generously into ramekins and use the back of a butter knife to smooth the surface, removing any extra. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
  • Cook the steak:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Let steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon oil to pan. When oil begins to smoke, add the first steak and cook until brown and crusted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in pan and spoon over steak to baste. Remove steak from heat and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with the second steak.
  • Place both steaks on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and place in oven to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak registers 120°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes (or 125°F for medium, about 10 minutes). Transfer steaks to a wooden board to rest, about 10 minutes.
  • To serve: Cut meat off both sides of the bone, leaving you with two pieces of steak. Slice each steak across the grain, then rearrange the slices around the bone on a platter. Serve with herbed butter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter. The better the butter, the better the herbed butter will be. Look for butter that is made from fresh cream and has a high butterfat content.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give the herbed butter the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Don't overmix the herbed butter. Overmixing the herbed butter will make it grainy. Mix it just until the herbs are evenly distributed.
  • Chill the herbed butter before using. Chilling the herbed butter will make it easier to spread on steak.
  • Don't cook the steak over high heat. Cooking the steak over high heat will toughen it. Cook it over medium heat so that it cooks evenly.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. Letting the steak rest before slicing will allow the juices to redistribute, making it more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Herbed butter is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to steak. It is perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a herbed butter that will take your steak to the next level. So next time you're grilling or cooking steak, try adding some herbed butter. You won't be disappointed!
