A simple homemade marinade is an easy way to liven up a dish without the extra "bad stuff" in most store-bought dressings and marinades. The author of paleoleap.com offers this advice as well:
"If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can always substitute dried; just remember to lower the quantities since dried herbs are more intense. A typical rule of thumb is to reduce the quantities by 1/3, or simply replace each tablespoon of fresh herbs with one teaspoon of dried herbs."

- Cook the steaks for 5 to 7 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak (or adjust to your preferred doneness level).
