Herb Marinated Steak
Try grilling Herb Marinated Steak for a steak that’s not only tender but flavored perfectly. Fresh herbs make an ordinary beef into something extraordinary.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 3 scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeno (seeded and sliced)
- 2 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 lemon lemon zest
- ½ lemon lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2½ lbs steaks
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except the steaks and place in a food processor, pulse until a paste forms.
- Pat the steaks dry and place in a shallow baking dish or rimmed baking pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- When ready to cook, heat the grill to high. Use a paper towel to pat the meat dry leaving on as much paste as possible. Grill over direct heat or under the broiler until they are browned on both sides, about 3-6 minutes per side if 1 to 11/4 inch thick, 6-9 minutes if 2 inches thick. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
