Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Marinate the Steak
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub the mixture over the steaks and let them marinate for at least 20–30 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
2. Cook the Baby Potatoes
Boil potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain and toss with butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley.
(Optional: Sauté or roast briefly for a crispy exterior.)
3. Prepare the Asparagus
Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill or sauté for 4–6 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Drizzle with lemon juice.
4. Grill the Steak
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cook steaks for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Assemble and Serve
Plate the steak alongside asparagus and baby potatoes.
Spoon any remaining juices over the steak for extra flavor.
