The first time I attempted this recipe was a blend of nerves and nostalgia, complete with smoky aromas that took me back in time.

Ingredients Notes

For optimal flavor, choose a high-quality cut like ribeye or strip steak. Grass-fed beef is recommended for its tenderness and rich flavor.

Remember, a little butter goes a long way in elevating the dish, giving it a mouthwatering finish.

Recipe Steps

Step 1

Start by bringing the steak to room temperature, allowing it to sit for at least 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking throughout.

Step 2

Preheat your Blackstone griddle on high. Once hot, apply a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking, and get ready to sear the steak.

Step 3

Generously season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Place it on the griddle, leaving it untouched for 3-4 minutes to develop a nice crust.

Step 4

Flip the steak and repeat, cooking to your desired doneness. Insert a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy; 130°F is ideal for medium-rare.

Step 5

Top the steak with a dollop of garlic herb butter in the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt and infuse the meat with flavor. Rest the steak for 5 minutes before slicing.

Storage Options

To store leftovers, let the steak cool completely before tightly wrapping it in aluminum foil or placing it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the steak, remembering to defrost it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Avoid microwaving to retain texture; instead, gently reheat in a skillet or oven.

Variations & Substitutions

For a lighter option, substitute steak with chicken breast or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian twist. Experiment with a marinade using soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and honey for a tangy, sweet flavor. Infuse the dish with international flair by incorporating spices like paprika or cumin.

Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. Ideal for any season, the steak is perfect for an elegant dinner when you want to impress. Serve with a bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or a cold lager for a casual summer BBQ ambiance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of oil for the griddle? Yes, while vegetable oil is recommended due to its high smoke point, other oils like canola or avocado oil work equally well. Olive oil may also be used but keep the heat slightly lower to prevent smoking.

How can I ensure my steak is not overcooked? The key is in temperature control. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy, and remember, the steak continues to cook slightly after removing it from the griddle while it rests. Aim for a target temperature just below your desired level of doneness for a perfect outcome.

What side dishes complement this meal? Classic steakhouse sides like garlic mashed potatoes or creamy spinach make wonderful companions. For a lighter side, consider grilled asparagus or a citrus-enhanced quinoa salad.
