This garlic butter grilled steak is essentially this kind of steak and can be cooked without leaving your home. A favorite restaurant in our area offers some very good steaks.

It has melting garlic butter which drips down the side of the steak.  But my home-cooked garlic butter steaks are unbeatable.

Best Types of Butter Steak?

  • Top Sirloin Petite Steak is a great low budget piece of meat and awesome for using the garlic butter to help add an extra layer of flavor.
  • Top Sirloin Filet is my husband’s choice of steak because it’s not as expensive as a filet but cooks up wonderful and has awesome flavor and won’t break your bank.
  • Ribeye steak is one of the most delicious steaks because it is rich in marbling. It is my favorite even though it has much fatter than a filet and it might require some trimming before cooking.
  • T-bone steaks and Porterhouse steaks are one of the top favorites but, these two are very similar in the cut of meat. It is a tenderloin steak and strips of steak with a bone. The flavors are great and is the world’s best.

How to Make Garlic Butter Steaks on a Blackstone?

Make the garlic butter up ahead of time so that it is ready to go when needed.  If possible, remove the steak from the refrigerator about 2 hours before you plan on cooking it and just leave on the countertop to come to room temperature. 

Preheat the Blackstone gas griddle to medium heat or if using the E-Series Blackstone Griddle set the dial to 350°F.  Season the steak with your favorite steak seasoning.

Once the Blackstone griddle is hot, lightly oil the flat top with some olive oil.  Place the steak on the hot griddle and let cook 4 to 5 minutes without moving to let the steak get a good deep golden-brown color on it.  Use a griddle spatula and flip the steak over.

How to Cook Steak with Butter

This is the time that you want to add the dollop of herb garlic butter to the top center of the cooking steak.  Let the butter melt into the steak as it cooks. 

If desired, you can add more than one dollop of compound butter.  The butter will melt and create a garlic butter sauce that the steak will cook in.

Cook the steak to your desired doneness.  Use a digital thermometer to check the temperature or do the touch test. 

Cooking times will vary depending on the griddle temperature, the thickness and size of the steak, the temperature of the steak, and the surrounding air temperature.

Butter Steak on the Stove

If you don’t have a flat top griddle, then you can make your steak with garlic butter on the stove top. Use a cast iron pan if you have one.

Over medium to medium high heat, heat the cast iron skillet before placing the seasoned steak onto it. Cook the steak until the first side is crispy golden brown, flip, and place the pat of butter on the top of the meat.

Continue cooking the steak with garlic butter until it’s reached the desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes and then serve immediately.

What to Serve with a Butter Steak?

A butter steak goes well with many side dishes.  Here is a list of some of my favorite sides. 

Smashed Potatoes

Griddle Corn on the Cob

Hasselback potatoes

Glazed carrots

Roasted butternut squash

Fried rice

Yellow Beans

Cheddar Biscuits

How to Store Butter Steaks

Let your leftover beef cool. Now grab some aluminum foil to wrap it up or store in an airtight container. The butter steak will stay in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Warm this either on the stove, griddle, or in the microwave. Place the griddle grilled meat onto the foil and put in a low oven.

Once warm, place the sliced steak on a plate and serve with a side dish.  Or you can slice the cold steak and eat on a salad or make into a sandwich.

Garlic Butter Steaks – FAQ

When should I butter my steak?

You want to place the herb garlic butter onto the steak after you flip it the first time.  That way the butter will seep into the steak as it cooks.

When do you salt the steak?

Season the steak before you place it onto the griddle grill.  If desired, you can salt and pepper the meat several minutes before you cook it.  You do not want to season the steak after it is fully cooked because it will not have the same great flavor.
