Basil-Oregano T-Bone Steaks

Serves 4

These delectable T-Bone steaks are rubbed with a basil-oregano mixture and placed onto the grill. The secret is a hot sear to give the steaks a rich brown color and the perfect crust before finishing them off at a lower temperature. This is important since these are very thick cut steaks.

Ingredients:

2 t-bone steaks, about 2 inches/5 cm thick

FOR WET RUB:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/3 cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped

4 - 5 fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1/2 tablespoon sea salt, depending on size and flavor preference

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Preheat grill to a medium high heat. For charcoal make a two layer fire so you have a hot side and a medium side. Combine wet rub ingredients and slather onto both sides of steak. Let steaks sit for a few minutes. Place onto a hot grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side, as long as there are good grill marks. Reduce heat or move to the medium side of the grill. Continue grilling for 10-12 minutes or until the steaks reach desired doneness.
