Grilled Steak with Whiskey Butter

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Grilling Method: Combo/Medium-High

2. Make Whiskey Butter:

   Step 2

   Make Butter at least 3 hours in advance. Combine butter, shallots soaked in Jack Daniels (or other bourbon or whiskey), parsley, Worcestershire, mustard, whiskey, salt, and pepper. Mix well. On a piece of plastic wrap, drop butter in spoonfuls to form a log. Roll butter in plastic wrap and smooth out to form a round log. Refrigerate until hard and easy to slice into round, coin-shaped pieces.

3. Prepare Steaks:

   Step 3

   Allow meat to come to room temperature about 15 minutes before grilling.

   Step 4

   Just before grilling, brush both sides of the steaks with the oil and season with salt and pepper.

   Step 5

   Place steaks directly over medium-high heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, just long enough to get good grill marks. Turn steaks and sear the other side. Move steaks to indirect heat and continue cooking for about 7 more minutes for medium rare.

   Step 6

   Remove steaks from the grill, top with a pat of the whiskey butter and allow to rest at least 5 minutes but no longer than 10 before serving.

   Step 7

   Spread the melted butter all over the tops of the steaks and top each with a fresh slice of the whiskey butter and parsley, if desired.
