Ingredients
  

For the steak
  • 2 pieces ribeye, New York strip, or filet steaks (about 12 ounces each, 1½" thick) Choose well-marbled cuts for maximum tenderness.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness and helps crisp the exterior.
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt Enhances the steak's natural flavors.
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper Adds a subtle heat.
  • to taste garlic herb compound butter Rich melted butter with garlic and herbs.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before grilling to reach room temperature.
  2. Brush each steak with olive oil, then sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Grilling
  1. Preheat the grill to high heat.
  2. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side.
  3. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare, checking doneness with an instant-read thermometer (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, 170°F for well-done).
  4. Remove the steaks from the grill and top each with a pat of garlic herb compound butter.
  5. Cover the steaks with foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes.

Notes

For optimal juiciness, allow the steaks to rest after grilling. Experiment with different herbs in the compound butter for additional flavor.
