Olive Garden Steak Toscano

This is a copycat recipe for Olive Garden's Steak Toscano. Prep time does not include allowing steak to come to room temp.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  tablespoons  Italian herb seasoning (oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, and crushed rosemary)
• 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 (1 1/4inch)  sirloin steaks, center cut
•  coarse salt, to taste
•  fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a sauce pan, heat the oil on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the spice mixture, making sure to crush mixture between fingers before adding. Take off heat and allow to infuse until ready to cook.
2. Bring the steaks to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
3. Pre-heat the oven grill to 500F with the rack on the position nearest to the grill - it needs to pre-heat a minimum of 15 minutes to be really hot.
4. Put the broiler pan in the oven to get it hot.
5. Broil with the door of the oven slightly open otherwise it will cook the meat with the meat's humidity and it won't have the crispiness of a grilled steak. Depending on how you like your meat, cook for more or less time. Start checking after 5 minutes.
6. While meat is broiling, warm the oil.
7. Turn the steak over to grill the other side and allow to cook. Remove from the grill and put on the cutting board. Using a marinade brush, brush each steak with the oil until coated and then either slice the steak thinly or serve whole. Put each steak on warmed serving plates.
8. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
