First, grab your fresh basil, wash and chop about a half cup. Next, peel the 4 garlic cloves and crush

them. 

Salt and Pepper your steaks.

Add your crushed garlic to the steak.

Next, Drizzle Malaysian Palm Oil over steaks. Why palm oil? Palm oil is non-GMO and ideal for high-temperature cooking.

How long do you marinate your steak?

Next, cover the steak on a dish with Saran Wrap, and let the steak marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours. The longer, the better. We left ours for 2 hours. Take it out before you are ready to grill.

How long do you grill your steak?

Heat your grills, and grill to rare, medium rare, medium well, or well done. Grill to your preference. 

Grilling Times For Steak

Use a meat thermometer to get to the minimum internal temperature (145°F recommended) and above. We grilled them for 8 -10 minutes on each side for medium well. Thinner steaks will cook quickly.

For all the steaks, you will need to let the meat rest. The marinade (chopped veggies) should just fall off when grilling, leaving only the flavors. Grilling steak doesn't get any easier than this!

Let the Steak Rest Before Slicing! 

Let the steak rest 5- 10 minutes before slicing on the diagonal.

Oh, man, the steaks were so tender and good. If you like steak, then you will enjoy this grilled steak marinade any time you're ready to barbecue this season. 

If you aren't having grill weather and don't have an indoor grill. You might try broiling the steak. Use a broiler pan. Preheat the oven to 550°F or as high as your broiler will go. Allow for circulation. Watch closely and flip the steak carefully. Cook to your desired doneness. Remember, carry-over cooking will continue after you remove the meat from the broiler, and let the steak meat rest.
