Grilled Steak with Sage and Garlic

The sage-garlic combination works with almost any kind of meat and is great on the grill.

Steak for two people (about 1 lb)
Salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1-2 tsp minced fresh sage
1-2 Tbsp olive oil

Take the steak out of the fridge, or thaw it, about an hour before you plan to cook it. (My steak is all in the freezer; I like to thaw it by putting it in a bowl of cold water. This takes about an hour.)

Liberally salt and pepper the steak on both sides.

Combine the garlic and sage in a small bowl and add enough olive oil to make sort of paste. Spread the paste all over the steak, both sides. Let sit for about an hour (or longer; if so, put it in the fridge and take it out again an hour before cooking so it can come to room temperature).

Grill the steak over high heat, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
