• From the Weber blog 
• 
  
• Butter
  • 1/4cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2ounces (about 1/3 cup) crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4teaspoon ground black pepper
•  
  • 4New York strip steaks, each about 8 ounces and 1 inch thick, trimmed of excess fat
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4lemon wedges

1. In a small bowl combine all the butter ingredients. With the back of a fork mash the butter mixture until evenly distributed.
2. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F).
3. Lightly brush both sides of the steaks with oil and season evenly with the salt and pepper. Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
4. Brush cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to your desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, turning once or twice (if flare-ups occur, move the steaks temporarily over indirect heat). Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm with the butter smeared over the top and lemon wedges on the side.
