Rosemary Garlic Steak

Rosemary Garlic Steak. No steak sauce needed.


Rosemary Garlic Steak

Ahhhh Rosemary Garlic Steak....one of my FAVORITE steak recipes. It is tender, juicy & full of flavor both inside and out. Even the bone is flavorful.  No need for steak sauce with this one honey.
Yummy! Look at those seasonings!

I don't eat red meat often but when I do, it's usually steak! A juicy T-bone or Porterhouse. When I eat a good steak I feel like a savage beast, enjoying the spoils of my labor. I walk away from the table with a sense of pride, ruggedness and ready for a nap. Yep, steak does all of that too me.
Pan Searing In a Cast Iron Skillet

In this recipe rosemary and garlic does this perfect tag-team or should I say waltz. Each bite is balanced. You'll know each ingredient is there but they don't fight for attention. Top the steaks with sauteed onion rings if desired.


Watch me make Rosemary Garlic Steak from start to finish!




INGREDIENTS:
2 Porterhouse Steaks (mine were less than an inch thick)
Kosher salt (don't use table salt. (Only kosher or sea salt)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper (use fresh crack pepper if available)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 Tablespoon rosemary
1/2 onion
Olive oil

Cooking Time
Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your steak and the doneness you prefer. Use a meat thermometer if needed. The steaks I used were just under an inch. I cooked them in the cast iron skillet for 15 seconds per side and in then oven for 1 minute per side. The steaks were in a  perfect range of medium-well to well-done.


Rare- 120- 125
Medium-rare- 130-135
Medium- 140-145
Medium-well-150-155
Well done- 160 and above

 Here is a handy rule of thumb to follow when salting steaks:



  • Less than 1-inch steak: 30-45 minutes
  • 1 inch thick steak: 1 hour
  • 1.25 inch steak: 1 hour and 15 minutes
(Note: I usually salt one side very generously and lightly salt the other side)










To fully understand salting steak check out Jaden's Blog post over at Steamy Kitchen.  This is how I first found out about salting steaks and have been doing it ever since. Jaden does a COMPLETE breakdown with pics, drawing, the works. She is so freakin'  awesome!!!
