Grilled Steak Recipe



Grilled Steak

I originally got the idea for this recipe from Jamie Oliver and this is my version of it. I probably make it every week or two, and is pretty much one of my favorite meal, It's my go-to for special occasions. And its seriously absolutely delicious. Hope the recipe works out for you! Enjoy!


Ingredients
Sirloin Grilling Steak
Salt & Pepper
Bertolli ClassicoOlive Oil
1 Clove Garlic
Fresh or dried Rosemary

Directions



1.) Season the steak with a healthy amount of salt and pepper. Preferably sea salt and black pepper, give better flavour. 

Rub it in nicely so it doesn't come off.







2.) Put a pan on medium heat while you're getting the rest of the steak ready. It should be well heated before you put anything in the pan. Coat both sides of the steak with olive oil, about a tablespoon on either side. Also, do not put olive oil in the pan. It needs to be dry and heated up when you finally put the steak on.







3.) Put the steak  in the pan and keep in on medium heat. Change sides at around 1 minute intervals. It should start looking like this and should start getting darker, and more delicious.







4.) When its almost cooked to your liking (ie rare, medium, well-done, etc.) Take the clove of garlic and rub it over the steak a couple of times. I know it seems weird, but it really does make a difference. If you don't have any garlic cloves (which is dumb because you always should) a bit of garlic powder is fine as well. Then take some fresh sprigs of rosemary and brush them over the steak. I don't have fresh rosemary, so dried rosemary leaves are fine. I just sprinkle them over. Do this on both sides, and make sure you put each side back on the pan one more time.
Overall the steak should be cooking for about a total of 15ish minutes depending on how you like it.

My favorite side for this dish is my roasted red potatoes (pictured below). You can find the recipe for those Here: 

Enjoy!




Roasted Potatoes


Roasted Potatoes


Ingredients
1 Clove Garlic
Chopped Onion
Baby Red Potatoes
Rosemary
Basil
Parsley
Salt & Pepper
Broccoli (optional)

(Serves 2)



Directions

1.) Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2.) Take the clove of garlic and chop finely (if you don't have cloves wait until the end when you're adding the seasoning and add garlic powder instead). Then take about half of a small onion and chop it into fairly small chunks. If you have large onions like myself, chop about handfull maybe, or a little less. Put both into a casserole dish (about 9X9), or any other pan or something that can be covered. 

3.) Clean the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. I normally use around 10-12 potatoes depending on how much I want to eat. I at least use enough to fully cover the bottom of the dish.

4.)(Optional) I like having a little green in there, so my normal go-to is Broccoli, but Asparagus is also a good alternative. Even green pepper is pretty delicious in there, but thats definitely my 3rd option.

5.) Put a generous amount of salt and pepper on there, I normally go for sea salt and black pepper, I just find the bigger chunks give it a little most flavour. Also, go ahead and add a sprinkle of the rosemary, basil and parsley on there. 

6.) Add some olive oil, I honestly don't know how much, a couple of tablespoons I suppose. Enough that its all covered. Mix it all up with your hands, make sure they're clean. You need to make sure that they're all covered because if not the potatoes will get dry, and they're nowhere near delicious enough. Cover the the dish.

7.) Put the dish in the oven. Keep it at 450 degree for about 30 minutes. Less then that and the potatoes will still be hard, but if you have plenty of time 40-45 minutes is prime.

They're absolutely delicious. 

This is a perfect side dish for my Grilled Steak recipe which can be found HERE and my Roasted Chicken recipe which can be found HERE.
