Perfect Steak with Herbed Butter

Steaks on the grill but with the best spice rub and herbed butter ever!

I have made multiple steak recipes with herb butter and, in my opinion, every steak needs a pat of herb butter. I enjoy how different recipes have marinades or rubs. This particular recipes has a spice rub and you cook the steaks on the grill, which I had never done. We all loved the recipe and will definitely be using this recipe regularly for grilling season!

Recipe from Iowa Girl Eats

Steak and eggs is a classic combo and I also loved this Rosemary Steak with Cheesy Eggs recipe and in it you get to see how my steak is well done because I'm one of those monsters who like well done steak (I'm a worrywart about undercooked meat even though I know it's pretty safe with steak). I recently made this Pan-Seared Steak with Balsamic Herb Cream Sauce from Carlsbad Cravings and have to admit that I'd eat the sauce by the bucketful - it's SO good!
