Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cube steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Begin by preparing the herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter with chopped fresh parsley, rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator to firm up slightly.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F to 450°F).
While the grill is heating, lightly brush the cube steak pieces with olive oil on both sides. This helps prevent sticking and adds a nice crust.
Season the steaks with black pepper and garlic powder on both sides. Since this is a low sodium recipe, avoid using table salt. The herb butter will provide sufficient flavor.
Once the grill is heated, place the cube steaks on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Top each steak with a generous dollop of the prepared herb butter. The heat from the steak will melt the butter, spreading the aromatic herbs and lemon zest flavors over the meat.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides for a low sodium yet flavorful meal.
