This was a Great and Simple recipe to dress up steaks that maybe weren't the best cut. On a great cut of meat, it would be Amazing! I had 4 steaks, not sure what type, they were no longer labeled! They weren't fancy. I started making the 'sauce' and realized I was out of Soy Sauce, so substituted a couple dashes of Worcester, eye balled the amounts on the ingredients and started the seer on the steaks. About a minute on each side on a very hot pan, then added some of the 'sauce' and occasionally basted with it. Removed from the pan, let rest, and drizzled the rest of the sauce over the steaks. Everyone loved them, wish we had more!

This recipe is so good! I melted all of the butter, then added the remaining ingredients and used it as a basting sauce while we grilled the steak. The steak flavored through nicely and tasted absolutely delicious!

DH cooked this steak recipe last night after I saw it posted on Facebook. We enjoyed it very much. DH used choice cut strip steak because that's what I bought. I also suggested he use some homemade ghee for cooking the steak because it does not burn like regular butter and still has the butter taste. I made the garlic butter using regular butter called for in the recipe. Will definitely add this to our keeper file.

The garlic butter on these steaks was amazing! I've never tried that before and now will keep this in mind each time we have steak. Delicious!

Delicious and tender sirloin. I microwaved the butter and herbs just enough to melt the butter and infuse with the garlic and herbs. Poured it over the steak.

I marinated steak in 2 tablespoons of Soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and the parsley for thirty minutes then threw the steak and butter in the skillet. Excellent!
