Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces rib eye steaks (1-inch thick)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
Remove the rib eye steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until a golden-brown crust forms. Reduce the heat to medium if necessary to prevent burning.
Add the rosemary sprigs and minced garlic to the skillet. Spoon the infused oil over the steaks as they cook for an additional 2 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium). Remove the steaks and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the cherry tomatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are softened and begin to burst, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze, mixing in all the flavorful bits. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to slightly reduce.
Add the steaks back to the skillet, spooning the tomato-wine mixture over them. Cook for another minute to reheat the steaks and meld flavors.
Transfer the steaks to serving plates and spoon the burst cherry tomatoes and sauce over the top. Optionally, drizzle with a few drops of balsamic vinegar for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or roasted potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy!
