GRILLED STEAK WITH ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER

GRILLED STEAK WITH ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER

Ingredients:
For the Roasted Garlic Butter:

1 head of garlic
30 ml olive oil
120 g unsalted butter, softened
10 g fresh parsley, chopped (about 1 tbsp)
1 g fresh thyme, chopped (about 1 tsp)
1 g fresh rosemary, chopped (about 1 tsp)
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Steak:

2 ribeye steaks (about 300 g each, 2.5 cm thick)
30 ml olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Roast the Garlic

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cut off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil.
Roast in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are tender and golden. Let cool, then squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skins into a bowl.
Step 2: Prepare the Roasted Garlic Butter

To the bowl with the roasted garlic, add the softened butter, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log. Wrap tightly and refrigerate to firm up. Step 3: Prepare the Steaks

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Grill the Steaks

Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
During the last minute of grilling, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary to the grill for extra flavor.
Step 5: Let the Steaks Rest

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Step 6: Serve

Slice the roasted garlic butter into rounds and place a few on each steak. The butter will melt over the hot steaks, adding a rich flavor. Serve with your favorite sides. Preparation time: 10 minutes
