Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Rib eye steaks
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Remove the rib eye steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season them generously on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking (130°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with aluminum foil, for 5-10 minutes.
While the steaks are resting, prepare the balsamic caper vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, capers, Dijon mustard, and fresh parsley until well combined.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, if needed.
Slice the rested rib eye steaks against the grain and transfer to serving plates.
Drizzle the balsamic caper vinaigrette over the steak slices and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with a simple salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side.
