Gordon Ramsay, known for his culinary expertise, shares his preferred method for enhancing steak flavor with a simple blend of bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. During a YouTube segment on 'The F Word,' he explains the importance of these herbs, combined with garlic and chicken stock, for achieving depth of flavor in steak. Ramsay emphasizes using woody herbs for better heat tolerance and techniques like basting with butter or stock to keep moisture and infuse aromatics. Additionally, resting the steak atop herbs helps achieve the perfect taste and aroma.
Ramsay's favorite herb combination for steaks is bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme, adding depth of flavor and enhancing the steak's natural richness.
Using woody herbs like rosemary and thyme can withstand heat better, allowing them to infuse flavors into the meat throughout the cooking process.
Basting the steak with stock or melted butter while it's cooking allows the meat to absorb the herb's flavors, creating a more aromatic dish.
Resting the steak atop herbs prevents burning, allowing for a flavor infusion as it continues to cook and enhances the overall taste of the dish.
