Ingredients

• 2 pieces (10-12 oz each) Ribeye steak
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) Cucumber
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup (shaved) Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Take the ribeye steaks out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary sprigs, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate while you prepare the salad.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, and red onion.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over high heat. Once the pan is very hot, sear the steaks for approximately 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil, for at least 5 minutes.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Step 8

Slice the steak against the grain into thick strips. Serve alongside the fresh salad.

Step 9

Enjoy your Tuscan Steak and Salad with a glass of your favorite red wine for an authentic Italian dining experience!
