Herb and garlic pepper steaks are a delightful and flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of fresh thyme, garlic, black pepper, and oregano creates a savory and aromatic seasoning that perfectly complements the beef fillets. Whether you're cooking for a family dinner or a special event, this recipe is sure to impress your guests.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the fresh thyme and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped thyme, minced garlic, black pepper, and dried oregano.
- Add the olive oil to the herb and spice mixture and stir well to create a marinade.
- Pat the beef fillets dry with paper towels.
- Generously rub the marinade onto all sides of each beef fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Let the steaks marinate for at least 15-30 minutes at room temperature. For a deeper flavor, you can marinate them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. If refrigerated, allow them to come to room temperature before cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it's very hot before placing the steaks on it.
- Place the beef fillets in the hot skillet or on the grill pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
- Rare: 125°F (52°C)
- Medium-rare: 135°F (57°C)
- Medium: 145°F (63°C)
- Medium-well: 150°F (66°C)
- Well-done: 160°F (71°C)
- Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, resulting in a juicier steak.
- Serve the Herb and Garlic Pepper Steaks hot. They pair well with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Allow the beef fillets to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh thyme and garlic for the best flavor, but dried versions can be substituted if necessary.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes after cooking to let the juices redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender bite.
- For an additional flavor boost, marinate the beef fillets in the herb and garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks to achieve your desired level of doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can create a stunning and delicious meal that will leave everyone asking for seconds. The herb and garlic mixture adds a burst of flavor to the tender beef fillets, creating a dish that's both sophisticated and satisfying. Enjoy your perfectly cooked herb and garlic pepper steaks!
