Using a spoon or your hands make this into a tight ball and then wrap this mixture tightly together using plastic wrap or wax papper, and place it into the freezer at least 30 minutes before you are going to use it. Tip: Use a good quality of butter to make this.

Trim and lay the steaks out about 15 - 20 minutes before you are going to grill them to get the chill off of them. Salt and pepper both sides.

Grill the steaks to your preference and then add a dab of the cold butter to the top. Enjoy!

Note: I like to use filets to make this recipe and I butterfly mine so that they cook evenly on the grill. I am one of those crazy people that like well done steaks but please cook it to the doneness you enjoy.

I like to serve these steaks with a side salad and some potatoes.

To butterfly a steak or any cut of thick meat, just cut the items almost in two pieces using a sharp knife.
