It’s a nice summer evening and it is time for some steaks on the grill
Delmonico Steaks to be precise
Delmonico steaks are cut from the front section of the short loin of beef
I’m going to season these with a sprinkle of kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder
Make sure you get both sides
We use these Wilton Sheet Pans
Let the steaks rest a few minutes to really allow the spices to flavor the meat
While they are resting we are going to make a compound butter to put on the steaks when they are done cooking
Compound butter is basically butter that you add some herbs or garlic too, or in this case both
I’m using 1 stick of softened butter, 1 sprig of rosemary, 2 sprigs of oregano and 2 garlic cloves
Add the softened butter to a bowl. Remove the rosemary and oregano leaves from the stems
Chop the herbs and garlic and add it to the softened butter and mix to incorporate
Scrape the mixture into some plastic wrap and roll into a log, then chill in the refrigerator until solid again, 10-15 minutes
When I think of steak I think of a tasty side of mushrooms and onions
Lets start with one 8 ounce package of baby portabella mushrooms (brush any dirt off with a dry paper towel), 1 large vidalia onion, 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon each of Worcestershire Sauce and brown sugar
Peel and slice your onions, also slice your mushrooms
Add your butter along with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan
We prefer to use Lodge Cast-Iron pans
Allow the butter to melt then add in in your onions, season with a sprinkle of kosher salt and ground black pepper and cook 5-6 minutes
Add in your mushrooms, Worcestershire Sauce and brown sugar and cook 10 – 12 minutes, allowing everything to caramelize
Remove from the heat and set aside
Heat your grill to 400 F and place your steaks over direct heat (meaning all the burners are on)
Cook for 5 minutes then turn (not flip)
Cook for 3 minutes then flip
Turn (not flip) and cook another 1-2 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads around 150 F
Remove to a sheet pan and allow the meat to rest at least 10 minutes before serving
While the meat rests, top each steak with a 1/2 inch slice of the chilled compound butter
The butter will melt as the steaks sit
We served these steaks family style over a bed of our caramelized mushrooms and onions, drizzled with the pan juices
Can you say yum?
Enjoy!!!
