Montreal-Style Grilled Steak

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Montreal steak spice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick (8 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Combine Montreal steak spice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
2. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak evenly with olive oil.
3. Generously coat both sides of each steak with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F).
5. Place steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until internal temperature reaches 130°F. Adjust time for desired doneness.
6. During the last minute of grilling, top each steak with half a tablespoon of butter and a smashed garlic clove to melt and infuse flavor.
7. Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
8. Slice steaks against the grain, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
