Ingredients

750g rib eye steak on the bone, trussed
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus
2 tablespoons extra
6 sprigs thyme, bruised
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, peeled, finely sliced
lemon cheeks, to serve (optional)

Preparation method

Season rib eye and drizzle with oil. Rub seasoning and oil all
over to coat. Set aside.
Preheat a barbecue grill or char-grill pan on high. Cook steak 5-8 minutes each side, turning only once, for medium-rare, or until done to your liking.
Meanwhile, in a small dish, combine extra oil, thyme, juice and garlic. Transfer cooked meat to oil mixture, turning to coat. Cover and rest 10-15 minutes. Slice and serve. Serve with lemon cheeks, if liked.

TOP TIP

Cooking time will depend on thickness of steak. If preferred, seal the steak for a few minutes each side and finish in a moderate oven, 180°C.
