Grilled Steak with Fresh Garden Herbs

This grilled steak with fresh garden herbs is a brilliant example of how simple, high-quality ingredients can create a sophisticated meal. By pairing a perfectly seared rib-eye or skirt steak with a zesty, hand-chopped herb dressing, you elevate a classic protein into something truly special. The combination of lemon, Dijon mustard and a medley of tarragon, mint and basil provides a bright, punchy contrast to the rich, savoury notes of the beef.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish relies on fresh aromatics and heart-healthy olive oil rather than sugary marinades or heavy sauces. It is a versatile choice for a summer barbecue or a quick midweek dinner when you want something nutritious yet indulgent. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a balanced and wholesome evening meal.
