Herb Grilled T-Bone Steaks
On Spring Sundays that feel Summer-y (like 25°C and cloudless blue skies), there is nothing better than lighting up the barbie, lunching in the garden and spending the whole arvo in the sun, is there? Well, these mouthwatering and absolutely delicious Herb Grilled T-Bone Steaks might improve the bliss! Happy Sunday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 (300-grams/10.5-ounce) good quality T-Bone steaks
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ to 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
With a sharp knife, score T-Bone steaks on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine dried rosemary, thyme, oregano and marjoram. Add black pepper. Stir in olive oil until well-blended.
Thoroughly rub herb oil into the flesh of the steaks, on each side. Let the steaks marinate and absorb the flavours, in the refrigerator, for at least a couple of hours.
Prepare barbecue: half an hour before grilling, arrange a layer of coals in the barbecue. Top with a few small branches of dry wood (applewood or fir give a good taste), and light.
Wait for the flames to die down, and place the steaks on the grill over the red embers. Grill, about 5 minutes on each side, seasoning with fleur de sel when flipping them, for medium-rare steaks.
Serve Herb Grilled T-Bone Steaks topped with Garden Herb Garlic Butter, and with Grilled Corn and a nice, robust red, like a Barossa Valeey Shiraz or a good Bourgueil.
