Rib-eye Steak with Dragon Butter
This is a rib-eye steak with hot sauce butter. The hot sauce was pre-made and then mixed/chilled in the butter to re-solidify. This sauce goes well with a steak because it adds more flavor. The Rib-eye was cooked on the grill with sea salt and black pepper. It had a stall of sorts around 130 degrees, but I left it alone-and that did the trick. Got there in the end. Was very tasty. Yum.
