While this recipe shines with its specific ingredients, you have some flexibility.

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of salt and pepper to taste to perfectly suit your preferences.
  • The recipe highlights fresh rosemary and thyme; however, you could experiment with other robust herbs if preferred, keeping in mind the classic flavors of steak.
