3/4 tablespoon rock salt
1–1/2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon minced dried garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced dried onion
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/8 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1 stick (1/2 cup) softened salted butter

Vegetable oil for light drizzling
Instructions
1-Getting the hang of grilling the ideal grilled steak: starts with a few key steps that make all the difference. First, take your steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes ahead to let them reach room temperature this helps them cook evenly. Once theyβre ready, trim any large fat pieces, pat them dry, and give them a light drizzle of vegetable oil for that perfect sear.
2-Next: rub both sides generously with your homemade seasoning mix. Preheat your grill to around 500Β°F and set up two zones: one hot for searing and a cooler one for finishing. Place the steaks on the hot side and sear for about 1-1/2 minutes per side with the lid closed to lock in those flavors.
3-After searing: move them to the cooler side and cook with the lid closed for 7-10 minutes until you reach medium doneness or your preferred level. Let the steaks rest for at least 15 minutes before serving, then top with slices of the herb butter you made by mixing the softened butter with rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, and a pinch of seasoning, shaped into a log and chilled until firm.
