Hola Everyone,
Don’t feel like cooking this summer? Keep some steaks on hand and you almost won’t have to! This Grilled Steak with Cilantro, Scallion and Cumin Butter makes a perfect recipe for a lazy summer meal.
If you don’t eat steak, just use the cilantro, scallion and cumin butter on grilled corn, poultry or seafood. I served my steaks with Papa Salada or Salted Potatoes and Arepas on the side.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
(4 servings)
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh scallions
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 lime
- 4 T-bone steaks
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- 5 garlic cloves
For the butter
For the steaks
Directions
- o make the butter: In a small bowl, using a fork, mix the herbs, cumin, a pinch of salt and a some grinds of pepper into the butter.
- Squeeze the juice from the lime into the butter and mix it. Using a spatula, scrape the butter out of the bowl onto waxed paper or plastic wrap.
- Roll the paper over the butter and form a log. Continue rolling the paper, or plastic, around the butter and twist both ends. Refrigerate until ready to use. Keep up to 4 days, or freeze up to 1 month.
- n a food processor, combine the olive oil, vinegar and garlic and process until finely chopped. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and place them in a dish, then add the marinade and turn to coat. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Heat the grill and oil the grill rack, or preheat a broiler.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade. Place the steaks on the grill rack, or put them on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Cook, turning the steaks once, for about 8 minutes total for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Top the steaks with the butter and serve immediately.

This looks so good! I am currently in Bogota, and will be teaching here for at least the next year. I am so happy to have Colombian recipes in English (at least until my Spanish is up to speed!) Thank you so much!
