Method
- SLOW-GRILL: Heat the grill to 200°F for indirect cooking. Season the steak with salt and pepper and place on the upper rack for about 1 hour, until its center reaches 100–105°F.
- MAKE THE BUTTER: Near the end of the first cooking stage, combine the butter, shallot, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Melt slowly over low heat, stirring occasionally, and hold.
- REST AND COAT: Rest the steak for 10 minutes. Grind the dried porcini to a powder, mix with the garlic powder and press onto all sides of the steak.
- SEAR AND SERVE: Increase the grill to 600°F for direct cooking. Grill for a few minutes per side, until the center reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Stir the basil into the shallot butter just before serving and spoon over the steak.
