Let’s not forget – we’re entering grilling season and the “holy smokes” will soon fill the air, wafting an aroma worthy for a feast day!
I love to grill!
I would never claim to be an expert griller, but I do know a little trick for waking up the flavors in grilled meat. Immediately after the meat leaves the grill, I top it off with flavored butter.
While in Nebraska for the Ordinations, I tasted some of their praiseworthy Omaha beef. But no matter how good the meat was, it did require seasoning. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the beef experts also added a flavored butter(in this case, garlic and chive butter) to their delicious grilled rib eye!
But, the best topping of all was a newly ordained deacon’s blessing.

Flavored Butter for Steaks
Ingredients: (For 4-5 steaks)
4 teaspoons of butter, room temperature
4 teaspoons of crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoon of fresh cilantro, finely minced
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
Instructions: Combine all flavors together, using an electric blender to make it smooth and creamy. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until the butter begins to harden. Immediately after the steak, chicken or pork comes off your grill, add about 1- 1 ½ teaspoons of butter to the still very hot meat. Allow the butter to melt, giving the meat enough time to rest before digging in! Don’t forget – that time for the butter to melt and the meat to rest should also be enough time to say grace before the meal!

Hi Fr. Leo, we met you at Roanoke Catholic School and I love to grill! However, I’m not as much of a fan of blue cheese… can you recommend a substitution? I’d love to try flavored butter one of these days.
God bless you,
