Side Of Beef 12oz Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef

   Take the 12 oz beef steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, fresh rosemary, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture all over the beef steak to ensure it is well coated with the seasoning.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill or Pan

   If using a grill, preheat it to high heat. If using a stovetop pan, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

4. 4

   Cook the Steak

   Place the seasoned beef steak on the grill or in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130-135°F.

5. 5

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil, for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

6. 6

   Slice and Serve

   Slice the beef steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy it as a side dish or with your favorite sides.
