Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. chuck steak equals 4 steaks

For The Marinade:

For The Compound Butter:

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary

Instructions

Prepare The Marinade:

  • Mince 6 cloves of garlic (reserve 2 cloves for compound butter).
  • Add 4 cloves minced garlic, 4 Tbsp. olive oil, 5 Tbsp. red wine vinegar, 1 tsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, and ¼ tsp. each of kosher salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in small bowl. Stir to combine completely using a fork or small whisk.
  • Place the chuck steaks in a cake pan or flat-bottomed pan. Pour the marinade over the steaks and toss until they are all completely coated.
  • Place plastic wrap over the top of the cake pan and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Prepare The Compound Butter:

  • Place 1 stick of room temperature butter in a small bowl. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 Tbsp. of fresh rosemary, and 1 Tbsp. of fresh thyme to the butter. Stir to combine using a fork or hand mixer.
  • Scrape the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log. Pinch the ends of the plastic wrap together to hold the butter together. Place the butter log in the fridge and allow to harden.

Grill The Steak:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill.
  • After the steaks have marinated for 24 hours place them on the uncovered grill in the direct heat. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side. Move the steaks to the indirect heat, cover, and continue to grill until they reach your desired level of done-ness.
    It is important that the steaks are cooked but be careful not to overcook them or they may become tough. The safe internal temperature for beef is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This can be checked using a grilling thermometer.
  • Remove the steaks after they have reached your desired level of done-ness and place a pat of the compound butter on each of them. Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes as the butter melts.
  • Cut the steaks into strips and serve.

Notes

Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your steak and desired level of done-ness.
