T-Bone Rosemary
Juicy T-bone steaks marinated with fresh herbs and olive oil, then grilled to perfection, delivering bold flavors suitable for a hearty outdoor meal or special occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix olive oil, black pepper, parsley, rosemary, and garlic to create the marinade.
- Place steaks in a glass container and pour the marinade over them.
- Marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill to high heat.
- Grill the steaks over hot fire for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Turn the steak and brush marinade on the browned side.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, allow the T-bone steaks to marinate overnight. If you don't have fresh rosemary, dried rosemary can be used in a pinch, but use less as it is more concentrated. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare. To add a twist, try using a different herb like thyme instead of rosemary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the T-bone steaks with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, such as a simple green salad with Poppy Seed Dressing For Fruit Or Greens. A baked potato or sweet potato pairs well too. These steaks also go wonderfully with crusty bread like Ma~Maw Mac'S Dinner Rolls for soaking up the juices.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover grilled T-bone steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil, cooking until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the meat tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell when my T-bone steak is done?
The best way to gauge doneness is by using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F, while medium is around 140°F. You can also use the finger test for a more hands-on approach.
Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the T-bone steaks with ribeye or strip steaks. Just adjust the cooking time as needed, since different cuts may vary in thickness and fat content.
What should I do if I don't have olive oil?
If you don't have olive oil, you can substitute it with avocado oil or canola oil. Both oils have high smoke points and will work well for grilling. However, using olive oil adds a distinct flavor that enhances the marinade.
