Steak night at home can be just as indulgent as a visit to your local steakhouse. It’s also less expensive, and you get to keep your sweats on. This recipe is simple, but the flavor is amped up with my version of a cowboy butter, which is just a compound butter with tons of love. This butter is also great over grilled vegetables or smeared on warm naan served with butter chicken.
For the compound butter: In a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix the butter, cilantro, thyme, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic, lime zest, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Rest at room temperature while preparing the steaks.
For the steaks: In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, smoked paprika and cumin. Sprinkle this mixture all over both steaks and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
Drizzle some oil on the steaks and place in a grill pan on medium-high heat. Grill until they sear and release, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
Rest the steaks with half the butter over the top under loosely tented aluminum foil. Slice into 3/4-inch slices against the grain of the meat. Serve with more butter on the side and a spritz of lime.
