Espresso Butter Ingredients

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F (232°C to 260°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the flat iron steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Oil the Grill Grate

    Using a paper towel dipped in olive oil, carefully oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Place the seasoned steak on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Espresso Butter Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Butter

    In a medium bowl, soften the unsalted butter to room temperature.

  2. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    Add the espresso powder, honey, garlic powder, and salt to the softened butter. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  3. 8

    Shape the Butter

    Transfer the butter mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
