Classic Grilled Steak

1.Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2.In a small bowl, mix together salt, ground pepper, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to create a marinade.

3.Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the steaks. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or for better flavor, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

4.Preheat your grill to high heat. Once hot, place the steaks on the grill.

5.Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them. This will create beautiful grill marks.

6.Flip the steaks over and add a tablespoon of butter on top of each steak. Grill for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the grilling time to your preferred level of doneness.

7.Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it juicier.

8.While the steaks are resting, grill the baby potatoes and asparagus (if using) on the same grill. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill until tender and slightly charred.

9.Serve the grilled steaks on a platter, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, serve with grilled baby potatoes and asparagus.
