Sprinkle your steak with sea salt and freshly group black pepper, let sit at room temperature.
Blend Bernaise Butter ingredients together in bowl until well-combined.
Heat your BBQ grill and lightly oil with olive oil. Pat steaks lightly with a paper towel and place steaks on grill rack; grill 3 minutes. Turn steaks over. Grill 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness*. Remove from grill. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Place a dab of Bernaise Butter on your steak, watch it melt and enjoy!
Sautéed Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a perfect side dish with grilled steaks. Sauté 1 clove minced garlic until soft in 1-tablespoon butter. Add ½ pound fresh mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes, constantly stirring. Add ¼ cup chicken broth and 1 tablespoon white wine (or red…whatever’s open) and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add salt, pepper to taste.
*Internal Temperature: The best way to determine the "doneness" of your steak is to check the internal temperature as follows:
Levels of doneness:
Medium rare: Red, warm center and the meat will have a springy firmness. Final temperature reading should be 126°F.
Medium: Hot, pink center and the meat will have a less springy firmness than medium rare. Final temperature should be 135°F.
Medium well: Slight color, cooked throughout and the meat will feel firm. Final temperature reading should be 145°F.
