🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 2 pieces ribeye steaks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 1 medium zucchini

• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.

2. Season the steaks on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the seasonings into the meat to ensure even flavor.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a golden crust forms.

4. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and a sprig of rosemary to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.

5. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-7 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Slice the zucchini into half-moons, dice the red bell pepper, and trim the baby carrots if needed.

7. In a large pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the baby carrots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

8. Add the zucchini and red bell pepper to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

9. In a small bowl, mix honey, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and chili flakes. Pour this mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

10. Cook the vegetables for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly. Remove from heat.

11. Plate the steaks alongside the vegetables, drizzling any remaining pan sauce from the steaks or vegetables over the dish.

12. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful surprise blend of savory steak and sweet-tangy vegetables!
