Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish or zip-top bag.
2. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Smoked Garlic Infused Olive Oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and parsley.
3. 3. Pour the marinade over the steaks and turn them to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
4. 4. Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before grilling so they lose some of the chill.
5. 5. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and clean the grates well.
6. 6. Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
7. 7. Grill the steaks for 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your preferred doneness.
8. 8. If you like, add the butter during the last minute of cooking and spoon it over the steaks as they finish.
9. 9. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and rest them for 5 to 10 minutes.
10. 10. Slice against the grain and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use a steak cut with good marbling for the best grilled texture. Keep the marinade focused on flavor and don’t leave the steak in it too long, since the lemon juice can start to change the texture after several hours. The featured blend does the heavy lifting here, so the rest of the ingredients stay simple and supportive.

Recipe Tips

Pat the steak dry before it goes on the grill so you get a better sear. Let the meat rest after grilling so the juices settle back in. If your steak is thick, use a meat thermometer and pull it a little early, since carryover heat keeps it cooking after it leaves the grill.

Serving Suggestions

Slice the steak against the grain and serve it with grilled potatoes, a crisp green salad, or roasted vegetables. It also works nicely with warm bread and a bright pan sauce on the side.

Storage

Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently so the meat stays tender, or serve leftovers cold over salad or tucked into sandwiches.

Variations

Add a pinch of cracked black pepper to the marinade for extra bite, or finish the sliced steak with a spoonful of melted butter if you want a richer plate. You can also grill mushrooms or onions alongside the steak and serve them with the same smoked garlic flavor.
