Nothing fancy here - just good, old-fashioned steak prepared with garlic and butter. Dining Car Steak makes a mouthwatering dinner that your family will love. It feels like fine dining, but is as easy as your favorite weeknight dinner. Lucky for you, you don't need to board a train to experience luxury!
What You'll Need
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 strip steaks (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
-
In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley; mix well. Spoon mixture down the center of a 12-inch-square piece of wax paper and roll into a 1-inch-thick log. Wrap ends tightly and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
-
Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of the steaks with onion powder, salt, and pepper.
-
In a grill pan or on your grill over medium-high heat, cook steaks 10 to 12 minutes or until desired doneness, turning halfway through. If you are using a meat thermometer, the temperature should be 135 degrees for medium-rare.
-
Place steaks on a platter and top each with a couple of slices of the herbed butter. The heat from the steaks will melt the butter and flavor the steaks. Store any unused herbed butter in the refrigerator.

A quick compound butter with garlic and herbs can really come in handy for a lot of quick main courses, as well as last minute sides. Toss a few tablespoons in a skillet and add some shrimp for a quick scampi, or spread softened garlic butter on slices of crusty French bread and toast for a few minutes. Use whatever herbs and spices you like and create your own!

How is Delmonico steak prepared? My store didn't know what I was talking about. So, can I prepare them myself?

Hi! Thank you for your comment! Delmonico steak refers to a method of preparation from one of several cuts of beef, typically, rib eye or strip steak. Either one of these cuts of meat will be delicious with this recipe. Have a great day!

Exactly which cut of beef are you calling a Delmonico steak? It is my understanding that the definition has changed over time. Please enlighten us all! Boneless rib-eye, bone-in top loin, or boneless top loin strip steak?
