GRILLED STEAK WITH HERB BUTTER
I don't know about where you live, but a typical summer in New York City can get hot and steamy. When the mercury is rising and even the street seems to be sweating, it's hard to think about turning on the oven--which makes this grilled steak an ideal summertime meal. When partnered with seasonal tomatoes made sweet by the hot summer sun, a rich, flavorful herb butter, and the coldest beer I can find, this steak is one of my favorite meals for battling the dog days of summer. If tomatoes aren't in season, serve it with a warming side of creamed spinach--a classic pairing!

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH WORCESTERSHIRE BUTTER
Grilled steak covered in melting herb butter is a cornerstone of summer cooking. Here, both the steak and the compound butter are spiked with Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme and garlic for an intensely brawny flavor. Then, the steak is garnished with a mix of charred tomatoes, scallions and basil, which gives everything a juicy sweetness brightened with lemon. You can use any cut of beef here; the flank steak has a deeply mineral taste and chewy texture that's at its best sliced thin. But rib-eye, skirt steak and sirloin also work; just be sure to adjust the cooking time for thinner or thicker pieces.

Steps:
- Season steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a bowl or resealable bag, combine thyme, garlic, jalapeño, chives, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and lemon juice. Add meat and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Prepare the Worcestershire butter: In a bowl, mash together the butter, thyme, chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
- Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, form into a log and wrap well. Chill for at least 2 hours before using.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Grill tomatoes, or broil them on a rimmed baking pan, turning them, until charred on all sides, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- Brush off any pieces of marinade clinging to the steak, pat steak dry and coat it lightly with oil. Grill or broil steak until it reaches desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare (125 degrees).
- Transfer steak to a cutting board. Slice butter into coins and place them on the steak to melt slightly. Let steak rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the tomatoes.
- Roughly chop tomatoes and place in a bowl with scallions, basil, a pinch of salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss well, adding more salt or lemon juice, or both, to taste.
- Slice the steak thinly, across the grain, and serve with the charred tomato mixture spooned on top. Garnish with more chives and torn basil, if you like.

Steps:
- Grilling Method: Combo/Medium-High
- Make Whiskey Butter:
- Make Butter at least 3 hours in advance. Combine butter, shallots soaked in Jack Daniels (or other bourbon or whiskey), parsley, Worcestershire, mustard, whiskey, salt, and pepper. Mix well. On a piece of plastic wrap, drop butter in spoonfuls to form a log. Roll butter in plastic wrap and smooth out to form a round log. Refrigerate until hard and easy to slice into round, coin-shaped pieces.
- Prepare Steaks:
- Allow meat to come to room temperature about 15 minutes before grilling.
- Just before grilling, brush both sides of the steaks with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place steaks directly over medium-high heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, just long enough to get good grill marks. Turn steaks and sear the other side. Move steaks to indirect heat and continue cooking for about 7 more minutes for medium rare.
- Remove steaks from the grill, top with a pat of the whiskey butter and allow to rest at least 5 minutes but no longer than 10 before serving.
- Spread the melted butter all over the tops of the steaks and top each with a fresh slice of the whiskey butter and parsley, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right steak: For grilling, select a steak that is at least 1 inch thick. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming dry. Some good options include ribeye, strip loin, and tenderloin.
- Prepare the steak: Before grilling, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help it cook more evenly. You can also season the steak with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help sear the steak and create a nice crust.
- Grill the steak: Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For a medium steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. And for a well-done steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the steak rest: After grilling, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Grilling steak is a great way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled steak is cooked perfectly every time. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
