Ingredients:

• 2 New York strip steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions:

1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Preheat your grill to high heat.
3. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
4. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest until well combined. Set aside.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the steaks just before placing them on the grill.
6. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for best results (130°F for medium-rare).
7. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
8. Top each steak with a generous dollop of the garlic herb butter before serving.
