- 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley

Instructions
For the Steak Seasoning
- The first step you will need to take for the steak seasoning is to get all the ingredients for the steak seasoning. You will also get a mortar.
- Then, you pour it all into the mortar and pestle till it is roughly ground. Well, on the other hand, you can get all the ingredients and place them all into a heavy-duty Ziplock bag.
- Afterward, make sure you get all the air inside it out, then get a meat pounder, heavy-bottomed skillet, or rolling pin and use it to crush all the ingredients.
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
- We have now gotten to the laid-out instructions for the steaks. The first thing you will have to do is to trim off any big chunks of fat that may have been around 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.
