Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the T-Bone steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil on both sides. Generously season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Make sure to coat all surfaces.

  3. 3

    Prepare Garlic and Rosemary

    Smash the garlic cloves lightly with the side of a knife and set aside. Rinse the rosemary sprigs and set them aside as well.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat for about 10 minutes until it’s very hot.

  2. 5

    Sear the Steak

    Place the T-Bone steak on the grill or skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to get a good crust.

  3. 6

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steak using tongs and immediately add the smashed garlic and rosemary on top of the steak. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  4. 7

    Check Temperature

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (54-57°C).

  5. 8

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the grill or pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Optional Sides Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and set aside.

  2. 10

    Boil Baby Potatoes

    Wash the baby potatoes and place them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 11

    Sauté Asparagus

    In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with salt and black pepper.

Serving

  1. 12

    Plate the Steak

    Slice the T-Bone steak against the grain and plate it as desired. Serve with the sautéed asparagus and baby potatoes on the side.
