Steaks

1. Remove steaks from refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. Preheat barbecue on high. Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Grill steaks until desired doneness, turning once only.

4. Let rest for 5 minutes in aluminum foil.

5. To serve, top hot steak with a slice of seasoned butter.

6. Serve with a salad of radishes, microgreens and tomatoes.

Tip

Let meat sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling, and use tongs when handling the steaks, to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

Other uses

Use the seasoned butter with other grilled meat, on potatoes, in mashed root vegetables, in rice or in quinoa, or toss with pasta. It can be stored in an airtight bag in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
