1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
3. Rub the mixture evenly over both ribeye steaks. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
4. While the steaks rest, prepare the focaccia salsa. Toss the halved cherry tomatoes, focaccia bread cubes, diced red onion, torn basil leaves, red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
5. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes.
6. While the steaks rest, lightly toast the focaccia salsa mixture on the grill in a grill-safe pan or cast iron skillet, tossing occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is crispy and golden.
7. Slice the rested steaks against the grain. Serve topped with the warm focaccia salsa and a sprinkle of shaved Parmesan cheese.
8. Garnish with extra basil leaves if desired. Enjoy!
