Thyme Honored Steak Recipes

GARLIC-THYME MARINATED STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine Marinade ingredients in medium bowl. Place beef steak(s) and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak(s) to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
• Remove steak(s) from bag; discard marinade. Place steak(s) on grid over medium, ash-covered coals or over medium heat on preheated gas grill. Grill according to the chart for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. [Grill top round steaks to medium rare (145°F) doneness.]
• Serve half of steak(s) immediately, as desired. Cover and refrigerate remaining steak(s) for later use. Before serving, carve steak(s) into thin slices; season with salt and pepper, as desired.

STEAK SLICE WITH LEMON AND THYME

Steps:

• Cut away the fat from around the edge of the steak while you heat a griddle or pan.
• Brush the steak with oil to prevent it sticking to the griddle or pan, and then cook for 3 minutes a side plus 1 minute each side turned again (this gives you pretty griddle marks) for desirably rare meat; the lemon in the post-hoc marinade 'cooks' it a little more.
• While the steak is cooking, place the thyme leaves, garlic, oil, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper in a wide shallow dish.
• Once the steak is cooked, place it in the dish of marinade for 4 minutes a side, before removing it to a board and slicing thinly on the diagonal.

FILLET STEAK WITH THYME & GARLIC CRUST

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
• Pulse the bread in a food processor until the crumbs are coarse (you don't want them really fine).
• Put the melted butter into a small bowl, and add the garlic, thyme and fresh breadcrumbs. Stir until well combined.
• Heat a frypan onto high heat & add the olive oil. The pan should be smoking.
• While the pan is heating, trim any excess fat and silverskin from the steaks, and grind black pepper to taste over the steaks.
• Using tongs (and watch for spatters) put the steaks into the pan and quickly sear on all sides.
• Remove to an oven tray and spread with Dijon Mustard to taste.
• Pile the crumb mixture on top in an even layer, and put into the oven until cooked to your liking (I like this rare, so about 15 minutes or so at most for me is fine). Ensure that the crumb doesn't burn (but it should be golden).
• Rest for 5-10 minutes in a warm place.
• Serve with fresh greens & potatoes.

T-BONE STEAK WITH THYME AND GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan over high heat for 1-2 minutes or until the butter starts to foam. Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper. Add the thyme, garlic and steak to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, spooning the butter over the steak, for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Drizzle the steak with the butter to serve.
