Rosemary Honeycomb Steak in oven recipe at 400 degrees
Rosemary and steak are a classic pairing, but honey is a powerful ingredient that caramelizes the meat while keeping the majority of its moisture. Under-seasoning is one of the most common rookie mistakes. For robust flavors, be daring and apply a generous amount of seasoning. You can also use a meat thermometer to see whether it's done; a medium-well steak should be approximately 150 degrees on the inside for this meal.
Ingredients
- A handful of Fresh Rosemary
- 2 tbsp Kosher salt
- ½ tbsp Ground ginger
- 4 tbsp Honey
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 4 slices Thick tenderloin steaks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Brown the butter in a cast-iron skillet or a frying pan and sear exactly one side of each steak, then let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Prepare your basking mixture, by adding the rosemary, ginger, honey, salt, and the butter used for searing the meat and heat it slightly on low heat for 5-10 minutes. The flavor will blend together beautifully.
- Spread your mixture on each side of your steaks and put them into the preheated oven.
- Cook each side for 5 minutes, and when it’s ready, let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
When you have to open the oven door midway, and you know that cooking time is a critical part of a perfect steak, it's an insider technique to raise the temperature only a minute before you open it, then lower it as soon as you close it. This way, the oven will retain a steadier internal temperature.
