I like to make a brush out of rosemary and heat it in oil but not fry just heat.
If the rosemary is growing sticky this resin will infuse the oil.
Then use the brush to paint a pork roast or chicken while it is dry roasting.
Salt garlic powder black pepper and rosemary will make one of the best cuts of meat you have ever had in your life.
It is also one of the best ways to cook a pork roast or chicken in a BBQ pit without a bunch of smoke.
Use the infused oil to hot pan fry a cheap cut of meat steak in a skillet to no more than medium rare.
Eye of round does great like this cooked rare.
A good cheap brand of olive oil is the best choice.
EVO olive oil is a total waste to cook with at high heat.
Bay leaves and rosemary are the only two herbs I have and grow.
Another option is to take a pound of butter and slowly cook the water out of it and then let the solids caramelize a wee bit with the rosemary and black pepper in it at the end before you take it off the heat.
You dont want to overheat rosemary or cook it too long as it will cook off the aromatics in the risen.
Most herbs do best put in right at the end of the cooking process.
If done for to long or too high a heat it can bring out unsavory flavors.
