To make the herb butter

• Now, for the herb butter, you are to get a bowl and pour all its ingredients into it. Then, you get a fork and mix them with it till they are well blended.
• Get a sheet of plastic wrap, then proceed to scoop the herb butter on it. Afterward, shape it into a thick log, and then you are to refrigerate it until it becomes firm.
• And, if you have the time, I would suggest you freeze it for about 20 to 30 minutes, although you should know it can be done ahead of time.

Regarding the steaks

• This is to help prevent flare-ups on the grill. After this, you can now pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.
• Then, you get the oil and rub each side of the steak with it. Proceed now to get the steak seasoning and season the steaks lavishly.
• And, to make sure that it sticks, you are to press the steak seasoning gently into the steaks, and I will suggest you use most of the seasoning if not all.
• Fire up 2/3 or ½ of your grill burners (2 or 3 burners, or 1 of 2 burners; this will be determined by how many burners you have).
• Afterward, you warm them up on high for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the grill gets to 500 degrees.
• Then, you are to place the steaks on the lit side and you will char on each side of the steaks for 1 – ½ minutes (you can regulate this suitably if your steaks are smaller or bigger than 1 lb, cut 1 – 1/2″).
• You are to keep the lid closed between the flipping. Afterward, move the steaks to the unlit part of the grill, then you can continue cooking them for 7 to 10 minutes.
• All this should be done with the lid closed. This is to get medium doneness or till you have gotten to your preferred level of doneness.
• Then, you can now remove the steaks from the grill and place them on a platter. Allow them to cool off for 5 minutes, at the minimum.
• And, before you serve them, you are to top them with sliced herb butter. Then, you can now serve and enjoy.
