The best thing about this T-bone steak recipe is that you don’t need any marinate, only the fresh tastes of rosemary and garlic. Combine a quick pan sear method with some oven-bake time, and you’re good to go!
To make the perfect T-bone steak, you’ll only need 6 ingredients. I’ll even guarantee that you already have more than half of them in your cupboard. Before covering your steak with oil and seasoning it, first pat the meat down with paper towels. This will ensure that a crispy crust forms on the outside, and all the moisture stays on the inside.
Chefs Tip for The Perfect Tender T-Bone Steak
When getting ready to pan sear the steak (we recommend using a cast-iron skillet if possible), make sure the pan is hot before adding the butter. When the butter starts to smoke – that is your cue to start searing the steak. We recommend searing two minutes on each side. Thereafter, it’s just the adding of your fresh garlic and rosemary that will leave you with a delicious aroma in the air.
One of the most important steps with this dish is to preheat your oven. After searing the steak, the essence of this recipe is to pop it in your oven for a few minutes. You will be met with the perfect T-bone steak waiting to be enjoyed: a delicious, crackling, crust on the outside, and tenderness on the inside.
