Season the ribeye steak generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on both sides. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
While the steak rests, clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into thin pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat until shimmering. Place the steak in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the timing for your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the cooked steak against the grain into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat evenly.
Divide the salad mixture between two plates. Top each plate with the sautéed mushrooms, steak slices, and shaved Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper over the salads for added seasoning, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
