• Salt and Pepper – Simple seasoning that lets the steak shine.
  

Garlic Butter

• Salted Butter – Adds richness and flavor.
• Olive Oil – Softens the butter and helps it melt evenly.
• Minced Garlic – Fresh garlic gives the best flavor. For even more flavor, you can add 1 tsp of finely chopped fresh rosemary and thyme.
• Fresh Parsley – Adds freshness and color. This is an optional topping
  

How to Make Blackstone Garlic Butter Steak

Make the Garlic Butter

Step 1 – In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, olive oil, garlic, and parsley.

Step 2 – Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Cooking Steaks

Step 3 – Season both sides of the steaks evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 4 – Preheat the flat top grill over high heat (about 450°F). Drizzle the avocado oil onto the griddle and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 5 – Place the seasoned steak on the hot griddle. Cook for 4–5 minutes without flipping on the first side to develop a good sear.

Step 6 – Flip the steaks using a spatula. Spoon one dollop of garlic butter in the center of each steak (use two if you prefer extra butter).

Step 7 – Continue cooking for 4–7 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness (see temperatures below). The garlic butter sauce will melt and baste the steaks as they cook.

Step 8 – Remove the steaks from the griddle and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving on a platter.

Steak Doneness Guide

• Rare: 120°F – cool to warm red center
• Medium Rare: 130°F – warm red center
• Medium: 140°F – hot pink center
• Medium Well: 150°F – mostly brown center
• Well Done: 160°F – fully brown center

Tip: Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, entering from the side rather than the top for the most accurate reading of the internal temperature.
