Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 ribeye steaks
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
Liquids and Garnishes:
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups arugula
- Shaved Parmesan (to taste)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until it reaches a searing temperature around 450°F.
- Create a zesty marinade by whisking balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and finely chopped rosemary in a small mixing bowl.
- Pat steaks dry and generously season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
- Carefully place steaks onto the scorching hot surface, cooking for approximately 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
- Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-7 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the steaks against the grain into thin, elegant strips.
- Spread a bed of fresh, peppery arugula leaves across serving plates.
- Artfully arrange the sliced steak atop the arugula.
- Drizzle the prepared balsamic dressing over the meat and greens.
- Finish the dish by scattering halved cherry tomatoes and shaving Parmesan cheese on top.
Notes
- Achieve a perfect sear by ensuring your skillet or grill pan is extremely hot before adding the steak, creating a delicious caramelized crust.
- Customize the marinade by experimenting with different herbs like thyme or oregano for a unique flavor profile that complements the beef.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful result when slicing.
- For a lighter version, swap beef with lean cuts like flank steak or try a plant-based alternative like grilled portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
