Seared Rib-Eye Steaks with Orange and Ginger Butter

Quick supper for two with a bit of preparation, marinated rib eye or rump steaks with an orange and ginger butter

Method

• (Based on a 2cm/¾inch thick steak)
• Rare: 2½ minutes on each side
• Medium: 4 minutes on each side
• Well done: 6 minutes on each side

1. Prepare the orange and ginger butter; in a small bowl mix all the ingredients together. Mould the butter into a sausage shape, wrap in cling film or foil and refrigerate until firm.
2. Place the steaks in a shallow bowl. Whisk together the marinade ingredients and spoon over the steaks to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade mixture. Cook on a prepared barbecue or preheated grill according to your preference, turning occasionally.
4. Transfer to a warm plate and top each steak with a disc of the flavoured butter.
5. Serve the steaks with a new potato and broad bean salad.

Notes

This recipe works well with lamb steaks too.
