Marinate your steaks before grilling
Instead of just seasoning your steaks with salt and pepper….or your favorite grilling blend, try marinating steaks with fresh herbs from the garden.
What kind of herbs to use?
Here are my favorite herbs that work really well with steak:
- Rosemary
- Basil
- Parsley
- Oregano
- Chives
- Green onion
- Fennel
- Tarragon
- Thinly sliced shallots
- Thinly sliced garlic cloves
You can chop the herbs, or keep them whole on the stem.
Completing the flavor profile
What makes food “delicious” is a harmony of different flavors such as:
- Savory (fresh herbs, steak)
- Salty (salt)
- Spicy (black pepper)
- Sour (acid)
- Sweet (honey, molasses)
If you look of most marinades and dressings, you’ll notice all of these flavor profiles.
How to marinate steaks with fresh herbs
- In a gallon sized bag, add in your herbs of choice.
- Add in “acid” flavor profile, such as:
– red wine vinegar
– couple thin slices of lemon - Add in the “sweet” flavor profile, such as:
– honey
– molasses
– brown sugar - Season the steaks with salt and pepper, add the steaks into the bag. Squeeze out all the air.
- Marinate in refrigerator for a couple of hours to overnight.
I leave all the herbs on the steaks when I’m grilling.
