garlic butter???? on STEAK?

Question

i am making steak for dinner, and i want to brush garlic butter on it, do you think it would be good?

its PORT steak.....CHEEP! LOL

Answer 1

When it comes to steak, almost anything is good. Garlic butter would add a flavor that will make the people eating it wonder what makes it taste so different.

One possible way to improve the steak even more is to add cracked pepper to it to add a little bite to it. The garlic butter will provide you with a sweeter taste. Garlic butter and cracked pepper will be a good contrast that will make the steak spectacular.

RILLED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH PARSLEY-GARLIC BUTTER

The garlicky herb butter is similar to the butter served with escargots in southwestern France. IMPROV: When preparing the butter, try a shallot instead of garlic, and thyme instead of parsley.

For the Parsley-Garlic Butter, mix together in small bowl, then cover and chill:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 teaspoons Cognac
Salt and pepper

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Rub with generous amounts of salt and pepper:
3 1 1/2-inch-thick rib-eye steaks (about 1 pound each)

Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Cut each steak in half, top with spoonful of chilled butter, and serve.

Makes 6 servings.

Answer 3

Garlic butter is terrific on steak, but don't melt the butter and brush it on, mash the garlic (and some salt, and some parsley if you have it) into softened butter and rechill. Then put a spoonful on top of the cooked steak. If you like it, you can add lemon juice to the garlic butter but I only like that on fish.

Answer 4

Garlic butter is awesome! Add it on to a steak cooked with a garlic based rub... Even better! (Should I mention I love garlic?) LOL!

Answer 5

Personally I wouldnt use garlic butter, if you want garlic flavor try making a rub out of powdered garlic, salt and pepper and really rub it into the meat.

Answer 6

It would be beautiful!!! Garlic is medicinal. A kind of herb good for your health. Make it juicy and not well done to retain the garlicky flavour. Before serving sprinkle it with 2 Tbsp of Red Wine or Brandy. If not melt slice of cheese on top before serving.
