- During the last minute of grilling, add a tablespoon of butter on top of each steak to create a rich, glossy finish.

Tips
- Room Temperature Steaks: Always remove your steaks from the refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking. This step is crucial for achieving even cooking throughout the meat.
- Drying the Steaks: Pat your steaks dry with paper towels before seasoning. This will help create that coveted crust when grilling.
- Generous Seasoning: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper! Season both sides of the steaks generously, pressing the seasoning into the meat for maximum flavor.
- Marinade Magic: For the best flavor, allow the garlic-rosemary-olive oil mixture to marinate on the steaks for at least 15 minutes before grilling.
- Grill Preparation: Preheat your grill to high heat and make sure to clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking and achieve those beautiful grill marks.
- Perfect Cooking Time: For medium-rare steaks, aim for 4-5 minutes on each side, adjusting the time based on the thickness of your steaks.
- Butter Finish: During the last minute of grilling, place a tablespoon of butter on each steak. This not only adds flavor but also creates a glossy finish that looks irresistible.
- Resting Period: Don’t skip the resting step! Let your steaks rest for 5-7 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is juicy and tender.
- Slicing Technique: Always slice against the grain for the most tender bites, and feel free to garnish with extra rosemary for a touch of elegance. With these tips in mind, you’re well on your way to grilling the perfect Rosemary Garlic Butter Steaks that will leave everyone asking for seconds!
