Roasted Garlic Butter Steaks

by




 INGREDIENTS

3-4 Ribeye steaks


Avocado oil as a binder


Honey Garlic seasoning from Fire and Smoke Society


Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter


8 cloves roasted garlic


1/2 shallot diced


1 tablespoon rosemary chopped


1 tablespoon thyme chopped


2 teaspoons kosher salt


2 teaspoons Mexican chili powder


1 teaspoon black pepper


DIRECTIONS

 




Roasted Garlic Butter Steaks


Start off by adding two bulbs peeled garlic in olive oil and placed in the oven at 325 degrees for 25 minutes.


While the garlic is roasting, season the steaks with honey garlic seasoning and let sit at room temperature.


Get a block of unsalted butter in a bowl (make sure it is softened) and begin adding 6-8 roasted cloves of garlic, rosemary, thyme, shallots, Mexican chili powder, black pepper and salt. Mix this together and place to the side.


Set the grill up for direct grilling and sear the steaks for 60-90 seconds per side. After they form a nice crust, remove them to the indirect zone and set the vents for low and slow cooking. Let the steaks finish off on the indirect side.


When the steaks reach an internal temperature of 118-120 degrees F internally, add a tablespoon of the butter to each steak. Remove the steaks when they reach 127-128 degrees F.


Let rest for 8-10 minutes and then slice for serving!

Smash Burger Pancakes 

Ingredients:

For the Smash Burgers:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 ratio for juiciness)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices cheddar cheese

4 small slider-sized hamburger buns (optional)

Optional toppings: pickles, lettuce, ketchup, mustard

For the Pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 egg

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Butter for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Smash Burgers:


Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and roll them into loose balls.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the beef balls on the hot skillet and smash them down with a spatula until they are thin patties.

Season with salt and pepper, and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, until crispy and browned.

Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and let it melt. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Make the Pancakes:


In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay).

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter the surface. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Repeat until all the batter is used.

3. Assemble the Smash Burger Pancakes:


Place a pancake on a plate, then top it with a smash burger patty. Add your favorite burger toppings (pickles, lettuce, ketchup, etc.).

Top with another pancake to create your “pancake bun.”

Serve as is or with a drizzle of syrup for a sweet-and-savory combo!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4
