Ingredients
beef t-bone steak
1 (2 to 3 lb, 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick)
extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup
garlic clove
1 (crushed)
fresh rosemary
3 sprigs
coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon
lemon wedges
4
Instructions
1
Allow the T-bone steak to come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
2
In a small bowl, combine the crushed garlic clove and the tips of the rosemary with extra virgin olive oil. Let it infuse for a minimum of 30 minutes.
3
Prepare your grill: If using a charcoal grill, ignite the charcoal and let it burn until the embers glow red; if using a gas grill, preheat all burners on high. For stovetop cooking, heat a ridged cast-iron skillet on high flame.
4
Once the grill or skillet is hot, pat the steak dry with paper towels and allow it to warm by the heat source for 10-15 minutes.
5
Sprinkle about 3/4 of the coarse sea salt over the steak's surface, ensuring even coverage.
6
Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on one side, until a nice crust forms.
7
Flip the steak, and using a brush made from the rosemary sprigs, baste the cooked side with the prepared garlic-infused olive oil, reserving about 1 tablespoon for later. Sprinkle the remaining sea salt on top.
8
Continue grilling for another 6-8 minutes on this side, checking for desired doneness.
9
Flip the steak again, applying the last of the garlic-infused oil and grinding fresh black pepper over the top to taste.
10
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 8-10 minutes, lightly covering it with aluminum foil to keep it warm.
11
Slice the steak against the grain for tender pieces and serve with lemon wedges for an added zest.
