How to make Grilled Sirloin with Cowboy Butter

1. Prepare the Cowboy Butter: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 4 minced garlic cloves, 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes, 0.5 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
2. Mix all Cowboy Butter ingredients thoroughly with a fork until well combined and uniform in color. Spoon the butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap, roll it into a log, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, or until ready to use.
3. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F). While the grill heats, remove the 4 (8 oz) sirloin steaks from the refrigerator and pat them completely dry with paper towels to encourage a good sear.
4. Lightly brush both sides of each steak with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season generously with 1 tsp kosher salt and 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
5. Place the seasoned steaks directly on the hot grill grates. For medium-rare steaks, grill for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping only once. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness (e.g., 6-7 minutes per side for medium). Use a meat thermometer to confirm internal temperature: 130-135°F for medium-rare.
6. Once the steaks have reached your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a clean cutting board.
7. Immediately top each hot steak with 1-2 generous slices of the prepared Cowboy Butter. The residual heat from the steak will melt the butter, creating a flavorful glaze.
8. Loosely tent the steaks with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This crucial step allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
9. Slice the steaks against the grain into desired portions, if preferred, and serve hot with the melted Cowboy Butter spooned over the top.
