Butter Beef

If you enjoy camping, you probably like finding new recipes for the great outdoors. You want a menu that’s not overly time-intensive, especially during clean-up. So, you can consider recipes like this one that utilize aluminum foil for cooking (no pots or pans required).
Giving your beef steak a figurative bathtub filled with butter makes it so tender and tasty, that you’ll want to make it at home too! There aren’t a lot of folks who have enjoyed their steak this way, made on a fire pit, so it’s sure to be a hit.
You will need a bag of charcoal and one or two pieces of smoking wood (optional). Consider serving with crisped-up broccoli or Brussels sprouts, glazed campfire carrots, cheesy potatoes, or corn. Oh, don’t forget some bread for dipping in all that buttery goodness.

Ingredients

  • 6 Sticks unsalted butter you can use less if you wish
  • 3 Strip Steaks or Beef Flank
  • 6 Garlic cloves smashed
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • ¼ lemon chopped

Instructions

  • Heat up the charcoal and wood until you have proper coals.
  • You want the steak to cook somewhat slowly.
  • Create an aluminum boat with high sides to contain the butter and enough length for the three steaks.
  • Melt the butter in the aluminum.
  • Place the steaks down into the melted butter.
  • Sprinkle the garlic and lemon evenly over the steaks.
  • Put a piece of rosemary between them.
  • Using a meat thermometer, watch for an interior temperature of 120 F.
  • Remove them from the butter.
  • Return the steaks to sear on the campfire for a minute or two.
  • You want a nice crust, but this doesn’t take long. Avoid over-cooking.
  • Let your steaks rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve as desired.
