Olive Garden Steak Toscano

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 tablespoons italian herb seasoning (oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, and crushed rosemary)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 (1 1/4 inch) sirloin steaks, center cut
• coarse salt, to taste
• fresh ground pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 in a sauce pan, heat the oil on medium heat for 5 minutes. add the spice mixture, making sure to crush mixture between fingers before adding. take off heat and allow to infuse until ready to cook.
• 2 bring the steaks to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
• 3 pre-heat the oven grill to 500f with the rack on the position nearest to the grill - it needs to pre-heat a minimum of 15 minutes to be really hot.
• 4 put the broiler pan in the oven to get it hot.
• 5 broil with the door of the oven slightly open otherwise it will cook the meat with the meat's humidity and it won't have the crispiness of a grilled steak. depending on how you like your meat, cook for more or less time. start checking after 5 minutes.
• 6 while meat is broiling, warm the oil.
• 7 turn the steak over to grill the other side and allow to cook. remove from the grill and put on the cutting board. using a marinade brush, brush each steak with the oil until coated and then either slice the steak thinly or serve whole. put each steak on warmed serving plates.
• 8 season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
