Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Take the steak out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season both sides of the steak with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Brush the steak with the 1 tbsp olive oil and place it on the grill.

  4. 4

    Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare).

  5. 5

    While the steak cooks, melt the 4 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Pour the garlic butter over the steak, then slice and serve with the juices.

  7. 7

    Serve the steak with the garlic butter spooned over the top.
