Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Roasted Garlic Herb Butter

These Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Roasted Garlic Herb Butter are the most spectacular, melt in your mouth, grilled perfection you could ever ask for!

Ingredients

• 2 Rib Eyes - about 1 1/2" thick each
• 1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning

For the Roasted Garlic Herb Butter:
• 4 Garlic cloves (roast on grill in the skins just till tender, let cool, then mince to add to herb butter)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Instructions for Roasted Garlic Herb Butter:
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate, remove and let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before using.

Preparing your steaks:
1. Season the rib eye steaks all over with Montreal Steak Seasoning.
2. Let the meat stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill to high heat.
4. Transfer seasoned steaks to the hot grill, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, longer if desired.
5. Just before removing from the grill using a cooking scoop or tablespoon place the roasted garlic herb butter on each one to melt into the steaks.
6. Remove steaks and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Roasting the garlic as a whole head makes for easier work. After roasting, remove the 4 cloves needed for this recipe. The rest of the garlic can be used in any other dish that calls for fresh garlic, and will bring an even deeper, more garlic-y flavor.

If you want the fancy grill marks that you get on your steaks from a restaurant here is a quick tip: Half-way through cooking each side (2-3 minutes), rotate (not flipping) the steak 45 degrees. For example, if the "point" end of the steak is at the 12 o'clock position when looking down at it, rotate the steak so the point is at about 2 o'clock. Flip the steak and repeat the process with the other side.
