Lemon-Pepper Steaks

 

4 beef sirloins or rib eye steaks, 1 inch thick ( about 2lb)

½ teaspoon garlic salt

¼ cup butter or margarine, melted

2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves

2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning

1. Brush grill rack with oil. Heat coals or gas for direct heat.

2. Trim fat on steaks. Sprinkle garlic salt over beef. In a small bowl, mix butter, basil and lemon-pepper: let sit for 10 min. to have flavors blend. Brush over beef.

3. Cover and grill beef over medium heat 12 to 16 min. turning once for medium beef doneness. Brush tops of steak with butter mixture and serve with your favorite side dish.

 

* Editors note - One of the best ways to keep steaks moist and juicy is to make sure the grill is very hot before adding the steak. This will quickly sear the outside
of the meat and keep the inside juicy.

The lemon-pepper sauce is also great on chicken. I add the garlic salt to the sauce for chicken.
