A good quality steak doesn't mess around, so neither does this recipe. Lemon juice, fresh thyme, and butter make a mouthwatering topping for some expertly grilled NY strip steaks.

ingredients

LEMON-THYME BUTTER
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

STEAKS
4 well-trimmed New York strip steaks (7 ounces each, trimmed weight)
1 teaspoon virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

directions

For Lemon-Thyme Butter: Place all the lemon-thyme butter ingredients in the bowl of a blender or spice grinder, and process them into a smooth paste. Set the mixture aside.

At cooking time, heat a grill until very hot. Meanwhile, rub the steaks with the olive oil, and sprinkle them on both sides with the salt and pepper.

Place the steaks on the rack of a very hot grill, and cook them for about 1 minute on one side, then turn them over and cook them 1 1/2 minutes on the other side.

Turn the steaks over again, and place them back on the rack at a 90-degree angle from their original grilling position to create a lattice of marks from the grill rack.

Cook the steaks for 1 minute longer on the hot grill, for a total of about 3 1/2 minutes for a medium-rare result. Serve immediately with lemon-thyme butter.
