Ingredients

  • 1 large garlic clove

  • 2 strip loin steaks, each about 250 g and 1/2-in. thick

  • 1/4 cup bottled Montreal steak rub, or 1 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper

  • 3 tbsp butter, at room temperature

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, cilantro or basil

  • generous pinch salt

Instructions

  • Slice garlic into thin slivers. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in each steak. Tuck garlic slivers into slits. Spread marinade over both sides of steak or rub pepper into steaks. In a small bowl, stir butter with rosemary and salt. Let steak and butter stand at room temperature while barbecue preheats.

  • Lightly oil grill and heat barbecue to medium-high. Grill steaks uncovered 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove to dinner plates and spoon a dollop of herbed butter on each steak. Delicious with grilled peppers and caesar salad.

A thick juicy steak is so good on its own that it doesn't need fancy prep or complicated sauces. However, a quick rub with a steak spice marinade heightens the natural flavours, and a little herbed butter overtop turns it into a decadent treat.
