Grilled Steaks with Ginger Butter

Ingredients:

2 New York strip steaks
salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/4 freshly ground black pepper

3 Tablespoons softened butter
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger

Directions:

Preheat your BBQ grill or stove-top (oven-safe) pan to medium-high heat.Combine the garlic powder, five-spice powder, and pepper in a small bowl.  Also,  add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Rub the spice mixture on the steaks. Place the steaks on the grill (or pan) spice-side down and let them cook, undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks (or dark sear marks) form. Flip the steak and cook for another few minutes, until the steak is cooked to your liking.  Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm. Let the steaks sit for at least 5 minutes before slicing to retain their juices.
Meanwhile, combine the butter and ginger in a small bowl. Add a spoonful to each steak before serving. You can also make this ahead of time, wrap it up in wax paper, and store it in the freezer. It slices into "coins" nicely that way.from Perry's Plate
