Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g lean beef strips, chicken thighs, or fish fillets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp smoked paprika or chili flakes for added flavor
Instructions
Preheat the Grill:
- Set your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add smoked paprika or chili flakes if desired.
Marinate the Meat:
- Place the meat in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Grill the Meat:
- Remove the meat from the marinade and discard any excess. Grill the meat for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Rest and Serve:
- Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy.
