Grilled Steak with Miso Butter
Miso butter melts into the finished steak in this meal, giving it extra rich, savory flavor. Serve the steak with a few summer favorites - corn on the cob and an Asian-inspired green salad.
Smarts: Miso butter freezes well. Make extra and put it in the freezer to serve over your favorite proteins.
