Grilled T-Bone Steak Recipe
Description
This recipe calls for a high-temperature grill set between 450° and 550°F to sear 1-pound T-bone steaks after seasoning with olive oil, salt, and pepper. An optional roux-like butter mixture is prepared by sautéing sweet onions and garlic in olive oil, then whipped with softened butter, fresh herbs (thyme and rosemary), lemon zest and juice, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning to create a soft, flavorful butter to serve with steak.
The steaks cook quickly, about 4 minutes per side on the hot grill, aiming for a nicely browned exterior and desired internal temperature. The finished steak pairs well with optional baked potatoes for a filling meal. The method emphasizes care in handling butter, grilling heat, and seasoning to balance browning and juiciness.
Enjoying this steak immediately after grilling is recommended for optimal texture and flavor. The detailed herb butter elevates the dish by adding freshness and tang, while the grill imparts characteristic char marks and smoky notes. Leftover butter can be frozen for later use.
Notes mention that the steak does not reheat well and reheating may raise the internal temperature beyond medium doneness. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated up to three days but not frozen well due to texture changes. Grill marks are for appearance more than doneness and should not overshadow the cooking process.
Ingredients
For the Butter:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ sweet onion peeled, small diced
- 4 garlic finely minced cloves
- 3 unsalted butter sticks, softened
- 2 tablespoons thyme chopped fresh
- 2 tablespoons rosemary chopped, fresh
- lemon zest and juice of 2
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- salt coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
For the Steak:
- 2 1- pound T-Bone steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- baked potatoes optional, salted, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat, 450° to 550°.
- Optional Butter: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a medium-sized sauté pan over medium-low heat and cook the onions and garlic until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Be sure to stir the onions and garlic every 30 seconds or so, so that they do not burn, which can take place on the outer edges of the pan.
- Transfer the onions and garlic to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment along with the butter, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper and mix on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes or until light and fluffy. You can absolutely mix this using a whisk in a large bowl if the butter is soft enough or using an electric hand mixer. There will be plenty of butter left over, which will freeze well.
- Steak: Coat the steak in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on all sides and season the steak on all sides with salt and pepper, and place on a very hot grill (450° to 550°).
- Cook for 4 minutes, give a quarter turn, and cook for 2 more minutes and then flip over cooking for another 2 to 4 minutes to achieve a rare to medium-rare internal temperature.
- Rest the steak for 2 to 3 minutes before serving with the lemon butter. Slice the steak and serve it with an optional salted baked potato.
Notes
- Grilled T-Bone steak is best served immediately after grilling to maintain tenderness and flavor.
- To reheat, briefly re-grill steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, acknowledging it may cook beyond medium doneness.
- Store cooked steaks refrigerated up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended due to texture loss.
- Grill marks are decorative and don’t impact the steak’s doneness or taste.
