FluffyCorn1909

This recipe channels Kansas City's love for beef and grilling, layering bold flavors and fresh herbs for a perfect late-summer dinner. The steaks are simply seasoned for a rich, smoky char, then crowned with a compound butter that brings together the woodsy notes of rosemary, bright parsley, and a zing of lemon zest. The butter melts luxuriously over the hot steak, infusing every bite with aromatic, balanced complexity—ideal for gathering around the grill on a warm evening.

Ingredients

Instructions

Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil, then season evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, rosemary, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat grill (or grill pan) to high heat. When hot, grill steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Let rest 5 minutes after grilling.
Top each steak with a generous dollop of the smoky herb butter. Let it melt slightly, then slice and serve immediately.
