    I think  you'll love this Lavender Steak!

    Cooking With Lavender

    • You can cook with both fresh and dried lavender. Drying fresh lavender at the end of its season is a great way to preserve it, and have it on hand to cook with.
    • It can be used in spice mixes and rubs for seasoning meats and poultry.
    • I like it sprinkled lightly on fish and seafood for a lovely scent and light floral flavor.
    • It's wonderful to infuse into alcohol for cocktails, and oils for cooking and seasoning.
    • It's amazing in ice cream and frozen treats. Try this Lemon-Lavender Frozen Custard.
    • This gorgeous plant is so versatile in the kitchen. Here's more great information about cooking with lavender.

    I know this is no endless lavender field in the South of France, but hey, it's what I've got growing in my backyard -- and I love it. And not just to look at. It's super flavorful and delicious.

    The lavender is the inspiration behind this Lavender-Rosemary Grilled Ribeye Steak.

    Cooking with lavender has always intrigued me -- for so many years I only thought of it as a pretty purple flower to smell and look at, and now I use it in all sorts or recipes.

    What to Serve With it

    • Potatoes.  How about Rustic Garlic Confit Mashed Potatoes? Or French fries!? The oh-so-pretty and delicious Chile Lemon Roasted Purple Sweet Potato Fries would be perfect!
    • Grilled vegetables. Grilled Scallions would be absolutely fantastic along side, or on top of the Lavender-Rosemary Ribeye Steak.
    • Salads. And mixed green salad would be a really great, refreshing side to serve with this.

    Enjoy!

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 teaspoons fresh lavender, finely chopped
    • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
    • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 (approximately ¾ pound) Ribeye steak
    • freshly ground black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Make lavendar mixture. In a tiny bowl, combine the herbs with the salt. Add the olive oil and mix.
    • Season. Preheat a stove-top grill or your BBQ on high. While it's heating, rub both sides of each steak with the herb mixture, using all of it. Then crack a bit of black pepper on both sides.
    • Grill. Place the steaks on the preheated grill -- you should hear a sizzling sound right away. If you don't, your pan is not hot enough yet. Wait until it's very hot and listen for the sizzle! Try not to move the steak during the first couple minutes of cooking. This will allow it to form a, "crust."
      Lower the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until the desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook for about 3 minutes per side.
    • Cool. Remove the steaks from the grill, place them on a plate, and cover with foil. Let the steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

      This looks really good. Do you use the leaves of the lavender of the flowers for this recipe? I happen to have a small lavender plant too 🙂

        Thanks! The lavender is mostly the flowers, but it's okay to use some leaves, too -- if they're very tender. 🙂

      I never would have thought to combine lavender and rosemary together. My husband loves rosemary, so I’m sure he would enjoy this.

      Lavender and rosemary are two of my favorite savory flavors! Do you think it would be good with a little sage in there as well?

      Lavender is such a wonderful flavour to add, and quite different. I imagine the mix with rosemary is wonderful, and very flavoursome.

      I know this will come as no surprise to you, but I combine lavender and rosemary quite often in my cooking – both savory and sweet! It at such an incredible layer of flavor. I love that I am not the only one!

      This made a perfect summer main course. The spices were aromatic while grilling, and then flavorful and complementary on the meat. We will do this one again and again.

        I have some lavender olive oil that I made with the leaves. Could I sub that for the separate lavender/ olive oil and if so, how?

          Hi there, and thanks for writing in. I think I would just keep it simple and use your lavender olive oil instead of the olive oil called for in the recipe. Hope this helps and I hope you love it. (P.S. So great to have lavender oil at the ready!) 🙂 ~Valentina
