Ingredients

4 T-bone steaks
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves

Method

Rub the steak with the oil, garlic, lemon juice, rosemary and pepper on both sides. Leave the steaks to marinate for 1 hour.

The steak is best cooked over a charcoal fire but a very hot grill can be substituted. Grill the steaks for 3–5 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with salt before serving and serve with lemon wedges.
