How to Make Marinated Steaks With A Tangy Butter

  1. **Prepare the Tangy Butter:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. **Shape the Butter:** Spoon the butter mixture onto a sheet of aluminum foil. Shape it into a log, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Twist the ends of the foil to seal, creating a convenient, reusable butter package.
  3. **Chill the Butter:** Refrigerate the butter log for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  4. **Marinate the Steaks:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. **Marinate and Refrigerate:** Add 4 (8-ounce) steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. **Cook the Steaks:** Remove steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill, pan-fry, or BBQ the steaks to your desired doneness (approximately 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare).
  7. **Rest the Steaks:** Once cooked, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  8. **Serve:** Slice the chilled butter log and top each steak with a generous slice. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or your favorite vegetables.
