Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Steaks

  • 4 T-Bone Steaks (see note)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

For the Garlic Herb Butter

  • ½ cup butter (salted)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons basil (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon chives (minced)

Instructions
 

For the T-Bone Steaks

  • Preheat your grill on medium-high heat. If it has a temperature reading, it should be around 400ºF.
  • Season the T-Bone Steaks with salt and pepper.
  • Place them on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes.
  • Flip and cook on the opposite side for about 7minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145ºF for a perfectly cooked medium done steak.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

For the Herb Butter

  • While the T-Bone Steaks are grilling, make the herb butter.
  • Mince fresh garlic, basil, thyme, rosemary, and chives.
  • Combine the softened butter with the salt, pepper, garlic, and minced herbs.
  • Mix until well combined and set aside at room temperature. This can be made ahead and refrigerated.
  • Serve with the Grilled T-Bone Steaks. I prefer to serve the herb butter at room temperature, so it doesn’t cool the steak too much.

Notes

  • The T-bone steaks used in this recipe were about 12 ounces each. If the T-Bone Steaks are smaller or thinner than about 1 or 1 ½ inches, the cooking time will need to be adjusted down by about 2 minutes. If the T-Bone Steaks are thicker, adjust the cooking time.
  • Let your steak sit out for 30-60 minutes before grilling. This allows it to cook more evenly and prevents the outside from overcooking while the inside remains cold.
  • For perfect grill marks, place your steak at a 45-degree angle to the grill grates. Don't overcrowd the grill; each steak should have enough room to cook properly.
  • After you remove the steak from the grill, let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes. This helps redistribute the juices, keeping the steak moist and flavorful.
