    To Grill the Steak

    Heat your grill, while you allow the steaks to come to room temperature.

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, then salt and pepper. Grill them until they reach the temperature you prefer using a meat thermometer. I like mine between rare and medium rare, so I pull mine off at 125F.

    Is Steak Keto?

    Most all protein is considered a good choice for Keto. Because steak is carb-free, you can save your carbs for a yummy side dish like Creamed Spinach or Grilled Bacon Wrapped Asparagus!

    Tips for Grilling the Perfect Keto Steak Recipe

    • Allow steaks sit out on the counter for about 20 or until they become room temp before grilling. This helps the meat to cook more evenly.
    • Use a meat thermometer to make sure you've cooked steak to the appropriate temp. This helps keep you from having to slice into the meat to check for doneness.
    • Always start out with clean grates. This prevents sticking and possible flame flair ups. Plus, no one likes burnt bits leftover from a previous cookout on their food.
    • Use a good wire brush to knock off any build up. If you don't have a wire brush, you can make do by crumpling up aluminum foil and scrubbing the grates with it.
    • For extra juicy and tender steaks, you definitely want to find ones with good marbling. Marbling is the fat that runs through the meat giving it so much flavor.
    • Always allow your grilled steaks to rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing into it. This helps the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and prevents it from drying out.

    Steak Cooking Temperatures/Degrees of Doneness

    • Rare (cool red center): 120-130°F
    • Medium Rare (warm red center): 130-135°F
    • Medium (warm pink center): 135-145°F
    • Medium Well (slightly pink center): 145-155°F
    • Well Done (no pink): 155-165°F

    I always recommend using a meat thermometer to be sure your steak reaches the perfect temperature.

    How to Store Compound Butter

    Store leftover compound butter in the fridge in an airtight container. This ensures the butter stays fresh and won't cause other items in the fridge to pick up the garlic scent.

    Compound butter also freezes really well. This allows you to make it in advance and have some on hand anytime you need it!

    Uses for Compound Butter

    So, you made a big batch of garlic herb compound butter for your yummy grilled steak and there's butter leftover. Don't you worry about how to use, I've got you covered!

    • Use garlic herb compound butter to run all over your turkey before baking it. Be sure to get the butter under the skin, touching the meat. You can use the same method when roasting a whole chicken also.
    • Use this Keto compound butter as spread on this Gluten Free Focaccia Bread for a take on traditional garlic bread or you can even use it to smear on one of these Chaffles.
    • Grilled veggies have never been so good. Dress up any of your grilled keto veggies by melting some garlic herb compound butter right over the top when you take them off the grill.
    • We can't leave out shrimp! Talk about a quick and easy Keto Shrimp recipe! Just soften the butter enough to toss the shrimp with and bake them in the oven until done. This is an easy peasy meal in minutes. For similar oven baked shrimp recipes, check out this Shrimp Scampi or this Garlic Butter Sheet Pan Shrimp.
