Category: Beef Steaks

1 5 lb beef rib eye, trimmed and tied
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp kosher or sea salt
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper

Prepare grill to medium high heat. Rub meat with garlic, salt, and pepper, and place on grill. Cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes on all sides for medium rare (140 degrees on a meat thermometer). Remove from grill and let rest 10 minutes. Slice steak into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Spoon Red Wine Scallion Butter on top of the steak it will melt. Serves 6

Red Wine Scallion Butter
2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups dry red wine
3 shallots, minced
12 black peppercorns, freshly cracked
1 bunch scallions (about 12), thinly sliced
8 sprigs flat leaf parsley, stems removed, minced
4 lemon verbena leaves, minced
3 basil leaves, minced
3 sprigs oregano and marjoram, stems removed, minced
Kosher or sea salt, to taste
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lime

Cut butter into 1 inch cubes and place in a mixing bowl; set aside. In a 2 quart pot over medium high heat, combine wine, shallots, and peppercorns, and bring to a boil. Reduce until syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, then fold the wine mixture into butter along with remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
