Grilled Steak with Chianti Butter

Grilled Steak with Chianti Butter is a scrumptious gourmet-style Italian flavored steak made indoors or on the barbecue grill.


Mom used to make this back in the 1960s in Central Utica New York, indoors all year long in a cast-iron skillet or broiled.


We didn't have great weather all year round but she would always come up with an indoor barbecue idea all winter long when we couldn't use the charcoal grill we had.


Back then we money was tight and she would turn inexpensive cuts of meats into a banquet of flavors.


You can use any of your favorite piece of beef you prefer, we have made this with ribeye, T-bone, porterhouse, they are all spectacular in flavor.


The recipe is simple you will need a good Chianti red wine and several herbs and spices.


If you love steak this will one to keep in your recipe collection.


We also love other stovetop steaks mom made, Italian Sauce Steak, Steak Marsala, and Salisbury Steak all favorites as a kid and now.

Steak and Chianti

Any kind of steak and wine go famously together but this really melts in your mouth and so tender in every bite.


I even will give you a chart to follow to cook the steak from rare to well done below.


Just pick a steak you like and if you haven't invested in a grided grill pan that's cast iron, it's a must-have for this steak.


I use a Le Creuset pan that I am a big fan of.


If you are lucky to be able to grill all year long, I still use the gridded pan outdoors because I don't want to lose any of the delicious juices and sauce this steak makes.

Gourmet Flavors

Just a few more thoughts, you can turn any ordinary inexpensive meats into a gourmet meal including burgers with this delicious seasoning and Chianti butter.



Try stuffing your burgers also with slivers of garlic and mix it with the seasonings inside the meat.



One other substitute if you prefer non-alcohol, use a good grade aged balsamic vinegar.
