Ingredients

  • 2 lb strip loin steaks
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt to season

For the Smoked Paprika Marinade

  • 6 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove finely minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp honey

For the Garlic Herb Butter

  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup soft butter
  • 3 - 4 tbsp chopped fresh herbs of your choice. I used chives , oregano and rosemary.

Instructions

  1. Season the steaks well with kosher salt and let them sit for a few minutes while you prepare the marinade.
  2. For the marinade:
  3. Mix together the Worcestershire Sauce, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, pepper, olive oil, garlic and honey.
  4. Add the steaks and marinade to a Ziploc bag, push out as much air as possible and seal.
  5. Work the marinade all over the steaks inside the bag.
  6. Marinate in the fridge for one to three hours, flipping the bag over at least once.
  7. Let the steaks come up to room temperature before grilling.
  8. Serve with melting garlic herb butter.

To make the Garlic Herb Butter

  1. Begin by lightly sautéing the garlic and 4 tbsp butter together over medium low heat. You only want to soften the garlic here and not brown it so it will only take a minute or two. Don't have your pan too hot.
  2. Cool the garlic then mix it together with the 1 cup butter and the fresh herbs.
  3. Place the prepared butter onto some plastic wrap and form into a log.
  4. Refrigerate until the shape of the log stays intact but take the butter out of the fridge to warm up to room temperature before serving in slices over the hot steaks.
