Pistachio Butter For Steaks
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup pistachios finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Steaks
- 4 10 oz steaks your choice of cut (filet, ribeye, sirloin, etc.)
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Place your steaks on a tray, and evenly season them with kosher salt on both sides. Set aside at room temperature.
- Place the ingredients for the pistachio butter in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Tip* a food processor works well to chip the pistachios.
- Place the mixture on a single layer of plastic wrap, and roll the pistachio butter to form a log. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
- Light your grill and set up for high, direct heat cooking. When grill is preheated, evenly coat the steaks with olive oil.
- Place the steaks on the grill grate directly over high heat. Flip the steaks every 30-45 seconds, moving them around the grill grate. Do this until you achieve the char you like, and the internal temperature of the steaks are to your preference. About eight minutes total for medium rare.
- Remove the steaks from the grill. Place a pad of pistachio butter on a plate, and place a steak on top of the butter. Then, place an additional pad of butter on top of the steak. Allow the butter to start melting as the steak rests, about five minutes. Serve with your fav grilled sides.
