Rosemary Thyme

Rainy Day Steak Night

💛 QUESTION OF THE DAY

When bad weather changes your plans, what favorite meal do you make indoors instead?

We had planned on grilling steaks outside today on our electric grill, but the weather had other ideas. Rainy Saturdays have a way of changing plans, and over the years I’ve learned that a good backup plan can be just as enjoyable as the original one.

Instead of heading out to the patio, I’ll be firing up my George Foreman grill right here in the kitchen.

Steak has always been one of Zach’s favorite meals. Ever since he was a little boy, he has loved a good steak dinner. Some foods come and go through the years, but a perfectly cooked steak has remained at the top of his list.

There is something comforting about gathering in the kitchen on a rainy afternoon while supper cooks. The windows may be covered with raindrops, but the aroma of steak, rosemary, and butter fills the house with warmth.

Tonight’s steaks are seasoned with a simple blend of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, and thyme. After grilling, each steak is topped with a pat of rosemary butter that slowly melts over the warm meat.

Sometimes the best family meals aren’t the ones that go exactly as planned. They’re the ones that adapt to the weather, bring everyone together, and remind us that home is less about where the meal is cooked and more about who gathers around the table.

🥩 Grilled Sirloin Steaks with Rosemary Butter

Steak Seasoning Blend
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Rosemary Butter
• 4 tablespoons softened butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest
• Pinch of black pepper

Mix butter ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.

Pat steaks dry, brush lightly with olive oil, and season generously. Grill to your preferred doneness. Allow the steaks to rest for 5–10 minutes, then top each with rosemary butter before serving.

🌿 Kitchen Note

Don’t let rainy weather cancel dinner plans. Indoor grills can create wonderful meals and some of the coziest memories happen when everyone gathers in the kitchen.
