Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by washing the herbs well. Chop rosemary and thyme finely. Mince the garlic cloves into very small pieces. This helps release more flavor. Keep everything ready before mixing. Fresh ingredients always give the best taste.

Mix the Marinade

  • Take a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Pour in soy sauce and lemon juice. Add mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything well until smooth. The mixture should smell fresh and slightly tangy.

Prepare the Steak

  • Take your steak out of the fridge. Let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps it cook evenly. Pat the steak dry using paper towels. Dry meat absorbs marinade better and gives a nice crust.

Apply the Marinade

  • Place the steak in a ziplock bag or dish. Pour the marinade over it. Make sure all sides are coated well. Massage gently so flavors go deep into the meat.

Let It Marinate

  • Close the bag or cover the dish. Place it in the fridge. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, leave it for 2 hours. Longer time means stronger flavor.

Bring to Room Temperature

  • Take the steak out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. This step is important. It helps cook the steak evenly and keeps it juicy inside.

Heat the Pan

  • Heat a grill pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Add a little oil if needed. The pan should be hot before adding steak. This creates a beautiful crust.

Cook the Steak

  • Place the steak in the pan carefully. Cook each side for 3–4 minutes. Adjust time based on thickness and doneness. Do not move it too much while cooking.

Rest the Steak

  • Remove the steak from the pan. Let it rest for 5 minutes. This keeps the juices inside. Cutting too early will make it dry.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Slice the steak against the grain. Serve hot with your favorite sides. The flavor will be rich, juicy, and full of herbs.

Notes

  • Always use fresh herbs for best flavor
  • Do not over-marinate, it can make meat too soft
  • Add chili flakes for a spicy kick
  • Use balsamic vinegar for a deeper taste
  • Try butter basting for extra richness
  • Use this marinade for chicken or lamb too
