Grilling season is here! Actually, I think I may have mentioned this before, we  are the crazy family on the corner that grills all year round. Snow, ice, and wind you’ll find us on the top of the hill with the smoky aroma billowing around our house.  But the warmer weather is definitely a plus!  There is nothing like the grill flavor.  And speaking of flavor, this simple steakhouse marinade creates some serious goodness. The end results are the best juicy, tender and delicious steaks. And of course, I love my toppings!  For the perfect steakhouse steak, you gotta try a dollop of garlic herb butter on your sizzling steak. The butter will slowly melt over your perfectly cooked steak. Divine!!!  And you don’t have to limit this topping to steak; try it on pork chops, chicken, and fish.  I like to freeze it and always have it on hand when the grilling fever strikes!

  3. On a piece of plastic wrap, scoop out butter onto the wrap, and shape into a log,  Pull sides of plastic wrap over to seal, twisting ends tightly.

  4. Roll wrapped butter back and forth to create a log. Place in refrigerator or freezer to harden.

  5. When ready to use, unwrap and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Place on top of hot, juicy steaks just before serving. Yum!

Recipe Notes

Use a grilling type of steak for this recipe, T-bone, New-York Strip, rib-eye are good choices.

*Sometimes I add 1/2 parsley and 1/2 chives to the garlic butter mixture.
