Ingredients:
2 Ribeye or Sirloin steaks
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp rosemary (optional)
Mixed greens
Cherry tomatoes
Red onion, thinly sliced
Balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions:
Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. If using rosemary, sprinkle it evenly for added flavor. Let the steaks rest for about 15 minutes at room temperature.
Sear the Steaks: Heat a skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up until shimmering. Carefully place the steaks in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Rest the Meat: Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the steak tender and flavorful.
Prepare the Salad: While the steaks are resting, assemble the salad. In a large bowl, toss mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss to evenly coat all ingredients.
Slice and Serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain into thin strips. Serve them on a bed of the fresh salad or alongside for a beautiful and delicious presentation.
