Instructions
Lemon-Garlic Butter
Mix the butter, parsley, garlic and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
Option #1 – Place the butter mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log shape.
Option #2 – Fill several cavities of a silicone mold with the butter mixture.
Place in the refrigerator of freezer to chill until ready to use.
Dry Rub
Mix the pepper, salt, brown sugar, garlic, cayenne, and paprika together in a small bowl.
Thoroughly coat all sides of the steaks, pressing to rub into the flesh. Shake off any excess seasoning. You may have leftover seasoning depending on how large your steaks are.
Heat grill on HIGH to 500 degrees.
Place the steaks on the grill and char/sear for two minutes.
Flip the steaks over and sear on the other side for two minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. See notes below.
Place steaks on a plate, cover with aluminium foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Steaks will continue to cook after they have been removed from the grill.
Serve with a serving of herb butter.
Notes
Allow steaks to come to room temperature before placing them on the grill.
My steaks were not very thick and only took about 5 1/2 minutes total to cook.
Temperatures below are for the internal temperature when you remove them from the grill. The temperature will rise 10 degrees while resting.
Medium-rare – 125 degrees
Medium – 130 degrees
Medium-well – 140 degrees
This recipe would be perfect for sirloin steaks.
Bone-in ribeyes will take additional time to cook, as will thicker cuts like filet mignon.
Cook thicker steaks with the grill closed with an even heat.
The brown sugar in the seasoning mixture adds to the char on the outside of the meat and to the overall flavor of crunchy, outer crust.
