A homemade three pepper rub tops this ribeye steak, which grills up in just a few minutes. The rub is made with three varieties of peppercorns and other savory seasonings.
To top it all off, a homemade compound butter, made with cilantro, garlic, and shallots is placed on the warm steaks. You can also use this butter on top of chicken, pork, fish, or pasta.
To make this a complete meal, serve it with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad. Or have some fresh bread available and schmear it with some of the extra compound butter.
Feel free to season the steak with more or less pepper to suit your personal tastes.
The compound butter is combined and shaped with plastic wrap while soft then chilled to set.
The round of compound butter is added after taking off the heat while resting so it can soften or melt over the steak.
Keep the compound butter cold until just before serving so it holds its shape when serving.
