Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, mustard, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Marinate the Steaks:
- Place the beef fillets on a plate or in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the meat.
3. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized chunks (quarters or halves, depending on size).
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. Prepare the Lemon-Parsley Mayonnaise:
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside for serving.
5. Cook the Steaks:
- Preheat a grill or griddle pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the marinated beef fillets with salt and pepper.
- Place the beef fillets onto the hot grill or pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness.
- Remove from heat and let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Serve:
- Arrange the cooked potatoes on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Place the grilled beef fillets beside the potatoes.
- Drizzle or serve the lemon-parsley mayonnaise on the side.
- Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Garlic and rosemary steaks FAQ:

What is the best cooking time for medium-rare steaks?

For medium-rare, cook the marinated beef fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side on a preheated grill or griddle pan. Adjust time slightly if your fillets are thicker or thinner.

How should I store leftover steaks?

Store any leftover cooked steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within 3-4 days for best quality.

Can I substitute herbs in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute rosemary with thyme or oregano if preferred, though the flavor profile will change. Use fresh herbs for the best results.

What type of beef fillet works best for this recipe?

Use tender cuts like filet mignon or sirloin for the best flavor and tenderness. Look for steaks that are at least 1-inch thick.

How can I tell if my steaks are done?

Use a meat thermometer; medium-rare should read 130-135°F (54-57°C). Alternatively, you can check firmness: medium-rare will feel slightly springy to the touch.

Tips:

- Choose high-quality beef fillets for the best flavor and tenderness.

- Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.

- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the steaks to ensure a good crust forms.

- Rest the steaks after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.

- Taste and adjust the seasoning of the lemon-parsley mayonnaise to suit your preferences.
