(Note: This recipe makes a generous batch of flavored butter, more
than needed for four steaks grilled to your preferred method. The
extra can be kept for up to a week in the refrigerator and used
for topping other savories, such as biscuits, omelets, chicken or
fish.)
Makes 4 main-dish servings.
1/2 pound unsalted butter
Zest of 1 orange, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup ground toasted pecans
Salt and pepper to taste
4 strip steaks
Soften butter at room temperature. Place in bowl of electric mixer
and add remaining ingredients, except the steak. Refrigerate until
ready to use.
To serve, grill steak to desired doneness. Place a spoonful of
pecan butter on top and let partially melt; serve immediately.
