Herb marinades are a game-changer for steak lovers! Infusing steak with a blend of fragrant herbs adds a rich depth of flavor. The marinade’s acidity helps tenderize the steak, making it juicy and succulent. Pick up a variety of fresh herbs here at Back Home on the Farm.
You’ll need:
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 3 scallions thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeno seeded and sliced
- 2 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 lemon lemon zest
- ½ lemon lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2½ lbs steaks
To make:
Combine all ingredients except the steaks and place them in a food processor, then pulse until a paste forms.
Pat the meat dry and place it in a shallow baking dish or a freezer bag. Cover the meat with the marinade and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
When ready to cook, heat the grill to high. Use a paper towel to pat the meat dry, leaving on as much paste as possible. Grill over direct heat or under the broiler until browned on both sides, about 3-6 minutes per side if 1 to 11/4 inches thick and 6-9 minutes if 2 inches thick. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
