Description

This specialty is about as regional as you can get. Although the recipe's name and origin are shrouded in mystery, in central Iowa it's a traditional steak dish topped with butter, Italian herbs, and garlic. The version featured here uses fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 6- to 8-ounce beef tenderloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let garlic butter stand 2 hours at room temperature.
  2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place pan of garlic butter at edge of grill to rewarm.
  3. Transfer steaks to plates. Spoon garlic butter over. Sprinkle with herbs and serve.
