Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick, 1 pound each)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make Grilled Steak with Herb Butter

  1. Start by preparing the herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined, then place the mixture on a piece of parchment paper, roll it into a log, and refrigerate to firm up.
  2. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). While the grill is heating, rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  4. While the steaks are grilling, prepare the creamy sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier steak.
  6. Slice the herb butter into rounds and place a slice on top of each steak just before serving. Drizzle the creamy sauce on the plate and place the steak on top.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Let the steaks come to room temperature before grilling for more even cooking.
  • Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the perfect doneness.
  • Allow the herb butter to chill completely for easier slicing.
  • Experiment with different herbs in the butter for varied flavors.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the ribeye for sirloin or filet mignon for a different cut of beef.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the creamy sauce for extra depth.
  • Mix in some blue cheese crumbles with the herb butter for a bold twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Roasted garlic mashed potatoes for a comforting side.
  • Grilled asparagus drizzled with lemon for a bright complement.
  • A fresh arugula salad with citrus vinaigrette to balance the richness.
  • Crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover grilled ribeye steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking. The creamy sauce can also be stored separately and reheated on low heat.
