Grilled Steak with Garlic Cilantro Butter

Ingredients

Garlic Cilantro Butter:
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1/2 tsp salt
Steak:
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 to 2 lb inexpensive steak
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Compound Butter:
2. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with garlic, cilantro, lime zest and salt.
3. Refrigerate until firm.
4. Steak:
5. In a large baking dish, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, garlic and ginger. Add steak and turn a few times to coat well.
6. With a fork, poke steak all over both sides to allow marinade to seep in. Let chill at least 1 hour, turning once or twice to coat.
7. Preheat grill (or broiler). Remove steak from marinade and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
8. Grill 5 to 7 minutes per side, until desired doneness is reached (130F for medium rare). This will depend on the thickness of your steak.
9. Remove, top with 1 tbsp of the compound butter and let sit 5 minutes.
10. Slice steak thinly against the grain.
11. Top each serving with a little more compound butter and serve.
