Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 T-Bone steaks
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove T-bone steaks from refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better sear.
- Generously coat both sides of the steaks with the prepared marinade, ensuring even coverage. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat grill to high heat (450-500°F), creating a hot zone for direct grilling and a cooler zone for indirect heat.
- Clean and oil grill grates to prevent sticking and create beautiful grill marks.
- Place steaks on hot grill grates and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, rotating 45 degrees halfway through each side to create crosshatch grill marks.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium.
- Remove steaks from grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain and serve immediately, optionally drizzling remaining marinade over the top.
Tips
- • Temperature is key! Always let your steaks come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking. • Pat your steaks dry before marinating to help create that perfect, crispy exterior sear. • Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness - no more guesswork! • Let your steaks rest after grilling to allow juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and flavorful. • Clean and oil your grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking and create beautiful grill marks. • For the best flavor, don't skip the marinating step - it's what makes these steaks truly extraordinary. • Rotate your steaks 45 degrees halfway through cooking on each side to achieve those professional-looking crosshatch grill marks. • Remember, patience is a virtue when grilling - don't rush the process!
