The Perfect Steak with Garlic Butter

Here are my tips and tricks for the perfect steak! The melted garlic and herb butter is amazing!

The outside may be perfect, but the interior is not cooked. By the time your inside is done, the crusty exterior will be dead.

So here it is – that juicy, crisp steak cooked just the way you want it, topped with a garlic compound butter that is simply off-the-hook-amazing.

This butter can be used on almost anything: toast, meat, or seafood. You can put it on anything. For convenience, you can prepare the butter in advance and freeze it as neButterIngredients
