New York Strip Steaks with Thyme and Garlic Butter Flavored butters, also called compound butters, are blends of softened butter with herbs, spices or other seasonings. They are delicious with grilled fish, chicken and pork as well as beef. 4 New York strip steaks 1 1/2 inches thick, trimmed of fat Butter: Soak wood chips or chunks for 30 minutes and drain. Sprinkle both sides of the strip steaks generously with salt and pepper. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat . To make the thyme and garlic butter, use a fork to blend the butter with the thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Add the Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces to taste. Stir to blend. Set aside or form into a log in waxed paper and refrigerate until ready to use. Sprinkle the wood chips on the coals, or add in a perforated foil packet to a gas grill. Grill the steaks directly over medium-high heat, turning 2-3 times, until well browned on the outside, 8-12 minutes total. (Move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill if flare-ups occur.) To check for doneness, cut into the steak or test with an instant-read thermometer. Rare steak is red at the center and registers 120°-125°; medium-rare is red to pink and 130-135; medium is pink and 140°. Transfer to a platter, loosely cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes. To serve, spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the flavored butter on top of each steak. Note: You may substitute any tender steak suitable for grilling, such as porterhouse or rib eye, in this recipe.
