“Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Roasted Garlic Herb Butter”

How much do you love steak? Rejoice all meat eaters and grill masters in your life. With Father’s Day around the corner I just had to share. My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary. The restaurant where we had dinner served a fabulous steak, a boneless Prime Ribeye topped with a herb butter. I knew right away that at first chance I had to recreate the butter that appeared on my steak. The dollop was melting and I could see the butter was filled with fresh herbs. I was picking that butter apart trying to see what herbs were used. So, my creation became Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Roasted Garlic Herb Butter.

Grilled Ribeye Steaks with Roasted Garlic Herb Butter

Steaks are one of my favorite meats to grill because of how easy these little darlings cook up. Second, they have so much flavor if good quality with so little effort. A good steak only needs a generous shake of salt and pepper. While there are some good rubs and seasonings like coffee rubs, try your hand at making your own. I have my favorite rubs from places like Penzeys or from grill masters, Weber on Amazon. Due to flavor coming from the herb butter, use simple salt and pepper. You don’t want anything taking away from that buttery flavor.

To make the herb butter, roast your garlic first. Cut top off garlic bulb, not root end, place on foil, and drizzle bulb with Olive oil. Roast in a 400 degree oven for about 30 to 35 minutes un til soft. Remove from oven to cool until it can be handled. In a small bowl, add one stick of softened butter. squeeze garlic from bulb, and stir in fresh herbs. Mix until well combined. Wrap butter in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm. It’s easy to make herb butter so experiment and come up with your own combinations. Herb butters also freeze extremely well for use later.
