by Kensie Kimball
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 lb. skirt steak
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Instructions: 

  • Preheat grill. Pat dry steak and generously season with salt and pepper.
  • Make cowboy butter: In a small bowl mix together garlic, lemon zest, parsley, red pepper flakes, and steak seasoning. Fold in butter and mix well, then set aside.
  • Grill steak; cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a clean plate and spread 2 to 3 tablespoons cowboy butter over steak; cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut into thin slices, cutting against the grain.
