When you’ve got a great cut of steak, sometimes simplicity is the key. This roast steak, flavored with fresh rosemary and a hint of lemon, brings out the natural goodness of the meat. It’s a straightforward recipe that packs a punch in terms of flavor. Ideal for any day of the week, or even special occasions, this dish will remind you why classics remain ever-popular.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak (15 minutes + marination time): In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Rub the mixture on both sides of each steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let the steaks marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, letting it marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge will deepen the flavors.
  2. Preheat your oven (10 minutes): Set your oven to broil or its highest setting.
  3. Sear the steak (4 minutes): In a heavy, oven-safe skillet or pan over high heat, sear the steaks for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they’ve got a nice golden-brown crust. If you’re using butter, add it just before flipping the steaks.
  4. Roast the steak (8-10 minutes): Place the skillet with the steaks into the preheated oven. Roast for about 8-10 minutes for medium-rare (adjust depending on the thickness of the steak and your desired level of doneness). Halfway through, pour the lemon juice over the steaks.
  5. Rest and serve (5 minutes): Once done, take the steaks out of the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist steak.

Notes

A quality steak doesn’t need much to shine, and this recipe is proof. The combination of lemon and rosemary provides a fresh, aromatic contrast to the rich flavor of the beef. To accompany this dish, consider roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad. And if you have any leftovers, they make for a delightful steak sandwich the next day!
