If you're on the hunt for a hearty, flavor-packed meal, look no further than this Savory Herb Crusted Chuck Steak. It's perfect for any occasion, whether you're grilling for a weekend family gathering or just want a comforting dinner after a long day.
Chuck steak is a budget-friendly cut that becomes tender and flavorful when marinated and grilled. The olive oil helps lock in moisture and carries the flavors of the herbs and spices. Garlic adds a robust, aromatic base, while rosemary and thyme bring earthy, woodsy notes. The black pepper provides a subtle heat, complemented by the depth of balsamic vinegar. Salt enhances all these flavors, and onion powder and paprika round out the mix with a hint of sweetness and warmth.
This steak pairs wonderfully with roasted potatoes or a fresh, crisp salad. For a more indulgent meal, try it with creamy mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans.
Start by grabbing a medium-sized bowl and combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, black pepper, salt, balsamic vinegar, onion powder, and paprika. Mix everything well until it forms a smooth marinade.
Lay your chuck steak on a flat surface, and pour the marinade over it, using your hands to rub it in evenly. Make sure every inch of the steak is covered for maximum flavor. Once done, cover the steak with plastic wrap, place it in a dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator. Ideally, leave it overnight, but if you're short on time, give it at least two hours.
When you're ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While it's heating up, take the steak out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. This will help it cook more evenly. Once the grill is hot, place the steak on it, grilling each side for about 7-8 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for your preferred doneness.
After grilling, let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the steak juicy and flavorful.
