A delightful twist on classic grilled steaks, featuring a flavorful herb-infused cheese butter.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Oiling the grill prevents the steaks from sticking and ensures even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine the butter, blue cheese, basil, and hot sauce. Mix until smooth.
If the mixture is too lumpy, use a fork to mash it until smooth.
Transfer the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a log, and roll it tightly. Chill in the freezer while preparing the steaks.
Chilling the butter makes it easier to slice into rounds for serving.
Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Seasoning just before grilling enhances the flavor without drawing out moisture.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the steaks more tender.
Slice the chilled butter into rounds and place one or two on each steak before serving.
The butter will melt over the hot steaks, creating a delicious sauce.
