Tuscan-style Steak

Tuscan Style Steak

Satisfy your senses with this simple yet elegant Tuscan specialty. Fresh-cut rosemary fills the air with its delightful piney aroma, while the sizzle of balsamic-infused rib eyes fills your ears with a delicious crackle. The fruity olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper flavor these succulent grilled steaks to perfection. Deliziosa!

Serves 4

1/4 cup tightly packed fresh rosemary leaves 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic, crushed sea salt, to taste ground black pepper, to taste 2 boneless rib eye steaks, about 3/4 -pound each

In a blender, pulverize the rosemary, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour half the marinade on top of the steaks, turn, and coat the other side with remaining marinade. Allow the steaks to rest for anywhere from 2 hours to overnight. When ready to cook, prepare the grill. Allow some of the excess marinade to drip off the steaks. Grill about 6 to 9 minutes per side, or until steaks are cooked to your liking.
