With Father’s Day just a few days away, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with steaks. They are man food. Well, that and nachos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s talk about steak for a minute. There are all sorts of cuts of beef out there, but when it comes to grilling here are the best cuts to choose from:<\/p>\n

Ribeye<\/strong> (used here)<\/em> – look for one that has great marbling (fat laced all throughout). It provides great flavor!
\nHanger<\/strong> (or “butcher’s tenderloin”) it’s a tender steak for a lot less than what you’d pay for a filet mignon.
\nFlatiron & Skirt<\/strong> – both pack great flavor and are very affordable. Just make sure you slice these steaks against the grain for ultimate texture.
\nPorterhouse<\/strong> – more on the expensive side, but it has it all; New York Strip with<\/strong> a tenderloin.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

 I used to work as a server in a steakhouse restaurant, and did you know that right after they pull the steaks from the grill they put butter on top?<\/p>\n

Yes, butter! Butter brings an ultimate richness to the steak, and with this crazy delicious compound butter it adds even more flavor!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

I combined finely minced garlic with fresh basil in a stick of soft salted butter, and then chilled it back to firm.<\/p>\n

You can add all sorts of great flavors to butter to create a tasty spread that’s perfect for bread, seasoning turkeys or roasting chickens, or you can even add it to gravies and soups!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

I marinated my steaks with my awesome steak marinade <\/strong>(recipe below)<\/em> and let them sit for at least 15 minutes. I also let my steaks sit on the counter for at least 15 minutes prior to grilling to come up to room temperature. I feel like this helps them grill more evenly.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

My husband is a huge fan of steaks, so you can better believe we are going to be enjoying more of these ribeyes this Father’s Day!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Whether you grill with propane, charcoal, natural gas, or on the stove top in a grilling pan these steaks will come out masterfully with the help of the marinade and compound butter!<\/p>\n
