Texas T-Bone
This is a recipe from Texas; written in Texas when I was a Texan. ~Mark
Grilled steak, need we say.
Yield 4 steaks
Ingredients
4 T-bone steaks, about an inch thick, somewhat marbled
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 cloves minced garlic, divided use
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
| 1 | Preheat grill to high heat. |
|
| 2 | Lay the steaks on a board or large platter. Trim excess pieces of fat for grill fire. |
|
| 3 | Season both sides of steaks with 2/3 garlic, onion, chile powder, salt, and pepper. With the back of a spoon, rub seasonings into the meat. Drizzle lemon. |
|
| 4 | Let rest for five to ten minutes. |
|
| 5 | Put excess fat on grill. When flames appear, put steak on grill. To get a perfect medium-rare, cook 3 minutes, rotate meat for cross-grill marks, and cook 3 minutes more. Flip to finish for 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley & remaining garlic. |

notes
Note: A good T-Bone streak seasoning variation is Montreal Seasoning a course mix of peppercorns, paprika, coarse salt, dried garlic flakes, dill seed, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and coriander seeds. Another variation is Lemon-Pepper Seasoning used at the Magic Time Machine, where I waited. It is a course mix of lemon rind, pepper, salt, garlic, and onion powder.
