• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: Fresh parsley, for garnish

Timing

Making the Garlic Herb Grilled Steak takes about 10 minutes for preparation and 10-15 minutes for grilling.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

1. Mix Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Step 2: Marinate the Steak

1. Marinate Steaks: Place the steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3: Preheat the Grill

1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F to 450°F).

Step 4: Grill the Steak

1. Remove from Marinade: Take the steaks out of the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
2. Grill Steaks: Place the steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness:

• Rare: 120°F to 125°F
• Medium-Rare: 130°F to 135°F
• Medium: 140°F to 145°F
• Medium-Well: 150°F to 155°F
• Well-Done: 160°F and above

Step 5: Rest and Serve

1. Rest Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
2. Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and serve warm. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
