For even more buttery flavor, lightly score the outside of the steak before cooking. Consider reaching for a high-quality grass-fed or European butter—the higher butterfat and deeper, creamier flavor melt into the meat and deepen the flavor even more. So freakin' delicious!
The Butter Steak
The Butter Steak is a creative way to achieve steakhouse quality at home. Slowly cooked in garlic herb butter, then seared hot for a perfect crust, this might be your new favorite way to cook steak.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 Favorite Steak Cut
- 4-6 cups of Unsalted Butter
- 6-7 Garlic Cloves crushed
- 4 sprigs of Rosemary
- 4 sprigs of Thyme
- Cowboy Butter Rub As needed
Instructions
- Preheat a smoker or indirect grill to 250F. Add a dutch oven or skillet w/lid to the smoker to preheat for 5 minutes.
- Add all the butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme to the dutch oven and let melt until 250F (about 20 minutes).
- Next, add the plain steaks to the butter bath, cover and cook until they are 120F internal.
- Once the steaks are done & have hit temperature, pull them off and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- While the steaks rest, build a high heat fire (around 400F) for searing on a skillet/plancha.
- Pat the steaks dry from any excess butter and season on all sides with my Cowboy Butter Rub. Add the steaks to the skillet to sear for 1-1.5 minutes per side until they are crispy. Pull the steaks off once done.
- (Optional) Boil the butter for 2-3 minutes to kill any leftover bacteria, then strain through a fine mesh. Dip the steak while it's resting in the butter for every butteriness.
- Slice your steaks and garnish with chopped parsley and more butter. Enjoy!
