Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (8 ounces / 226 grams each)
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Liquid and Condiment Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Craft a robust marinade by whisking olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon and whole grain mustards, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, freshly chopped rosemary, cracked black pepper, and sea salt in a mixing bowl until ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Transfer raw steaks into a flat container or zip-lock bag, ensuring complete coverage with the prepared marinade. Seal and refrigerate for a minimum of 60 minutes, though overnight marination will intensify flavor profiles.
- Heat cooking surface – either grill or heavy skillet – to maximum temperature for optimal caramelization. Extract steaks from marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip away naturally.
- Position steaks onto scorching surface, cooking approximately 3-4 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare doneness. Adjust timing based on thickness and personal temperature preference.
- Remove steaks from heat and permit them to rest undisturbed for 5 minutes. This crucial pause allows internal juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor retention.
- Slice against the meat’s natural grain and optionally drizzle remaining marinade over the plated steaks for an additional flavor boost.
Notes
- Transform ordinary steaks into flavor-packed masterpieces by whisking marinade ingredients until fully combined and smooth.
- Ensure maximum flavor absorption by using a resealable plastic bag, which allows even coating and prevents mess in the refrigerator.
- Experiment with different cuts like ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak to discover your favorite marinade companion without compromising taste intensity.
- Create a gluten-free version by replacing Worcestershire sauce with tamari or coconut aminos, maintaining the recipe’s rich umami profile.
