📋 Ingredients
For the Steak:

✔ Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
✔ 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)
For the Herb-Infused Compound Butter:
✔ ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
✔ 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
✔ 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
✔ 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
✔ 2 garlic cloves, minced
✔ 1 tsp lemon zest

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Compound Butter
- In a bowl, mix together softened butter, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Shape the butter into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
2️⃣ Prepare the Steak Medallions
- Season both sides of the steak medallions generously with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush the steaks with olive oil.
3️⃣ Grill the Steaks
- Sear the steak medallions for 3-4 minutes per side, until a deep caramelized crust forms.
- For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
4️⃣ Add the Herb Butter
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and immediately top with a generous slice of the chilled compound butter.
- Let it melt into the steak, creating a glossy, flavorful sauce.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
- Arrange the grilled steak medallions on a plate and serve immediately.
- Pair with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
💡 Pro Tips
✔ Want a smoky flavor? Use hardwood charcoal for grilling.
✔ Prefer pan-seared steak? Use a cast-iron skillet and baste the steak with butter in the last minute of cooking.
✔ Extra flavor boost? Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
