Butter Steak

Cultural Context

Butter steak, popularized in American steakhouses, combines the rich flavor of butter with the savory taste of perfectly cooked steak. This technique enhances the meat's juiciness and adds depth through aromatics like garlic and thyme. Today, it's embraced by home cooks and chefs alike, often featured in gourmet recipes and casual dinner parties.

1

Mix together fresh thyme, sharp horseradish, green pickle relish, and Worcestershire sauce into softened butter to create horseradish butter.

2

Form the mixed butter into a log using a plastic bag and chill it to firm up.

3

Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4

Season the steak with salt just before cooking to prevent moisture loss.

5

Add the steak to the skillet and sear it, flipping occasionally to sear the sides and slow the cooking process.

6

Once the steak is seared, add unsalted butter to the pan and baste the steak with the melted butter.

7

Cook until the steak reaches your desired doneness, checking by taste if necessary.
