  There is nothing like a Rib Eye: it is the most flavorful steak you can buy. The thin streams of fat running through this cut of steak create outstanding flavor. You'll only need to season this with salt and pepper, because we're going to make a shallot-and-herb butter to slap on top of this baby once it's off the grill. As with any good steak, let this one rest for a few minutes before digging in. It will be moist and tender. SERVES 4 GENEROUSLY	Ingredients
  Directions Take your steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to start grilling, so they can come to room temperature. Prepare the charcoal grill to medium-high heat on one side of your grill, and medium-low heat on the other. You will need just a few briquettes on the cooler side of the grill to maintain the low heat. (If using a gas grill, heat one side of the grill to medium-high heat and the other to low.)
  NOTE When you're grilling such a thick piece of meat, it's best to cook at a high temperature, to sear the outside nicely, then move to the cooler side of the grill, to give the inside of the steak a moment to catch up. This is especially important if you like your steaks the way Pat does, more on the medium side than medium rare. ROASTED SHALLOT AND HERB BUTTER:
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the shallot on a square of foil, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fold up the foil into a little packet, and place in the oven for 1 hour. Let cool completely. Pulse the roasted shallot and remaining ingredients in a food processor until combined but still coarse. Scrape the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap, spread it across lengthwise, and roll into a log. Twist the ends to seal. Place in the fridge to firm up for at least 35 minutes before serving.
