The "old French" rule of thumb is, "if you can isolate the flavor of a
single herb or spice you've used too much".

I agree with that theory. However in today's cuisine the concept of "if a
little is good a lot is better" seems to prevail. Yes I like rosemary but
not so much that it overpowers the meat.

I would respectfully suggest the next time you go to a decent steak house
you order the steak WITHOUT SEASONING. You'll be surprised, pleasantly the
flavor of the meat actually comes through.

You don't have to respectfully request anything here. When we cook
fillet (tenderloin) steak at home, the only thing DH puts on it is olive
oil. Delicious.

So, is it good? The only meat I have ever had rosemary with was
chicken...

Rosemary is good with pork and lamb

I've not tried pork with rosemary. I lean towards chipotle pepper/brown sugar
for that, with applesauce.

I like the lamp chops with rosemary!

Really? I would think it would be overpowering with fish.

I have a huge rosemary plant in the garden (not as big as the mint). I
have rib eyes from Sam's Club in the freezer. All I need is cooking
instructions for rib eye steak and rosemary.

Do you crush it and rub it onto the steaks before cooking?
Do you put it over the heat on the grill so it smokes?

I'd appreciate some advice.

TIA
