This marinated grilled steak recipe is perfect for a healthy summer meal. The steaks are infused with a flavorful blend of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs, and garlic, then grilled to perfection.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 (8 oz.) Beef Steaks (Sirloin, Flat Iron, or Hanger steak works well)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Steaks:
- Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they're well-coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Grill the Steaks:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your steaks reach your preferred doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
4. Rest and Serve:
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
