I must admit, as someone who was predominantly nurtured on the flavors of the sea, this Grilled Steak with Marjoram Butter recipe initially seemed a bit outlandish. However, as I’ve always been partial to a culinary adventure, I plunged right in. I was mesmerized by the spell-binding amalgamation of flavors in each bite. The savory delight of the steak flawlessly complements the fragrant marjoram and zesty lemon, creating a succulent symphony of taste that’s incredibly hard to resist. To truly relish this culinary masterpiece, you must look at the image yourself.
The Splendor of Marjoram
In the heart of this steak recipe lays the essence of marjoram butter. This wonder herb, not just enhances the dish’s flavor, but also brings significant health benefits. Nutrient-dense marjoram offers anti-inflammatory properties and can aid in digestion. On top of that, its soothing scent can also relieve stress, providing an overall balanced culinary journey.
Perfect Pairing
While it may not be seafood, the Grilled Steak with Marjoram Butter recipe pairs exceptionally well with my New England culinary roots. A simple side of creamed spinach or roasted herbed potatoes alongside this steak, and you have a meal that echoes the heart-warming comfort of a traditional New England dinner.
Grilled Steak with Marjoram Butter is a welcome diversion from my typical seafood fare. Yet, it revives those familiar feelings of cooking, with love and flair, daring to try something new with something familiar. So, here’s to this brilliant steak recipe, a testament to the fact that delicious surprises can certainly come from unexpected places.
What You’ll Need
- 6 (6-ounce) steaks
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons fresh marjoram leaves, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for grilling
Method
Step One
Preheat your grill on high heat. While the grill is heating, season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
Step Two
In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter at room temperature, finely chopped fresh marjoram leaves, lemon zest, and finely chopped garlic clove. Stir it well until the ingredients are evenly mixed. This will be your marjoram butter.
Step Three
Rub the seasoned steaks lightly with vegetable oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Step Four
Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook to your desired doneness, typically about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare depending on the thickness of the steak.
Step Five
Just before the steaks are done, top each with a generous dollop of the marjoram butter and let it melt over the steak while it finishes cooking.
Step Six
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to let the juices redistribute. Serve the steaks hot with any extra marjoram butter on the side.
