Grilled Herb-Infused Beef Perfection

Ingredients

- 2 pounds of beef steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- A handful of fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef:
- Take the beef steak out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

2. Season the Steak:
- Rub both sides of the steak generously with olive oil.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly on both sides of the steak.

3. Prepare the Grill:
- Set up your charcoal grill for direct heat grilling and let it preheat until the coals are glowing red and covered with a light grey ash.
- Oil the grill grate lightly to prevent the steak from sticking.

4. Infuse with Herbs:
- While the grill is heating, combine the softened butter with finely chopped fresh herbs in a small bowl. Mix well.

5. Grill the Steak:
- Place the steak directly over the hottest part of the grill.
- Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time based on desired doneness.
- Use tongs to rotate the steak 90 degrees halfway through grilling each side to create grill marks.

6. Finish with Herb Butter:
- Remove the steak from the grill and immediately top with the prepared herb butter.
- Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps redistribute the juices throughout the meat.

7. Serve:
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve adorned with any remaining herb butter, allowing the flavors to mingle beautifully.
