Rub the steak with the olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, mint and salt. Allow the meat to come to room temperature, it should sit with the rub for 15 minutes or so, but if you don't have the luxury of time, it probably doesn't matter. Grill over a very hot flame. We did about 7 minutes per side for a perfect medium rare on a particularly thick piece of meat.
Ask the hotline about this step!I submitted it about a year ago. Amanda and Merrill used to pick a wildcard every week along with the regular challenge. But they may not be doing that this year. Also, I don't think there was a wildcard category to enter, they just choose recipes they liked.
I found leaving a steak to get at room tempature a great advantage to get a perfect steak. However , it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes, at least 1/2 hour.
Just wondering, when you submitted this recipe (a couple minutes ago) it says you submitted to the Wildcard....what is that, where is the Wildcard contest?
