How to Make Al Roker S Steaks As Big As Your Head

1. **Make the Compound Butter (up to 1 day ahead):** Soften 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter slightly. Do not let it become completely soft. Mix in 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper. Shape into a log on a sheet of waxed paper, seal the ends, and refrigerate.
2. **Marinate the Steaks (at least 2 hours):** Place steaks (adjust quantity based on desired size – the bigger, the better!) in a large container. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons of the rosemary from the compound butter, salt and pepper to taste. Turn to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
3. **Prepare the Grill:** Preheat your grill to high heat.
4. **Grill the Steaks:** Grill steaks to your desired doneness (refer to a meat thermometer for accuracy). Do not wipe off the garlic pieces from the steaks. Add a few pieces of the marinated garlic and rosemary to the grill alongside the steaks during cooking to add extra flavor.
5. **Rest the Steaks:** Remove steaks from the grill and let them rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
6. **Prepare the Butter:** Slice the chilled compound butter into approximately 1-tablespoon-sized disks.
7. **Serve:** Top each steak with a disk of compound butter. Serve immediately and prepare for compliments!
8. **Optional:** Enjoy leftover compound butter spread on warm, crusty bread.
